Being

Being more open to others’ ideas Being helpful when I encounter the helpless Being loving when I see those that seem unlovable Being slow to anger when I feel I’m being attacked Being understanding when others make mistakes Being non-judgmental when people are different from me Being thankful for all that comes into my life

Being Not "be" A sense of trying, striving. Not a command. Lovely sentiment. I liked the suggestive nature - not an order. Happy hugs

the operative word here is "being"--in this case being mindful...a great goal but not always easily accomplished.
