Make Common Sense Common Practice
The principles I follow today are powerful, but they aren’t new. They are quite common. I’ve heard them my entire life. As a child, my parents taught me to treat harsh words with kindness and forgive those who judge; including myself. The church we attended said, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”My school teachers told me to be inclusive and respectful of others different than me. Sports coaches stressed the importance of putting team goals before individual ones. Leaders like Ghandi inspired me to love and contribute to others. And messages shared at personal growth workshops and by motivational speakers, like Tony Robbins, reminded me about personal integrity and recovering from personal stumbles.
The information I’ve learned over the years has been heard by almost all of us. The people who live inspiring lives are the ones who take the timeless principles and apply them daily. They set goals and stay true to them even when they don’t feel like it. They silence negative self talk and replace it with loving thoughts and acts of self love. They stick by people when others walk away. And they love because they understand it’s the key to a happy and amazing life.
The principles of ToBeRe… and 2BeRe University are common and common sense. What’s uncommon is our relentless commitment to practicing them every day. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about working on being a better version of yourself than you were the day before. Do this and your life will be extraordinary in so many ways.
