Barry’s answer to “Can you share any precepts/maxims that help you be the person you'd like to be?” > Likes and Comments

I am trying to come up with a series of maxims that I can use to reprogram my ways of thinking. My hope is that if I repeat these sayings often enough it will become at least somewhat ingrained and will jump to mind when in the right situation.

"People first" seems very noble. However, I am not sure if it would work for me. I am a great deal more jaded then I like and my worldview is clouded by that. Everywhere I look I see dog eat dog and it is hard to feel like being the one dog handing out bones so to speak. Do you feel this way at all? How do you overcome selfishness?

I wish I can help. I just wrote a book about seltzer!

No worries. I appreciate what you've shared so far. Thank you again

Be well, and I hope you enjoy the book. It’s about people unexpectedly finding passionate interests in their lives.
