It is of great value to select a basic dictum to live by, such as the decision to be kind and of good will towards all life in all its expressions. This would, by inference, result in a willingness to forgive seeming negatives, observations, or mental constructs. The commitment to living according to basic spiritual dictums is strongly reinforced by prayer, supplication, and the decision to be a servant of God rather than the ego. It is also beneficial to ask God directly to be able to see things differently and to ask for guidance, information, and direction.
