Somewhere this past fall (2011) I came across some more wonderful words of wisdom. They were attributed to Charlie Chaplin on his 70th birthday and entitled - As I Began to Love Myself.

In his book Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends, Tim Sanders articulates what I feel about business, “Pay it forward with the intention of being in service and be alert to all the ways the Law of Attraction shows up on your doorstep with opportunities ripe for the picking.” [...]

Not taking things personally, contentment, and compassion are what Dr. Jodi Prinzivalli talk about in her article “The Art of Not Being Offended.” I found her article on the Light Works site while researching the Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires.
