i agree with most of this stuff. maybe i’ll try it on my bi-polar friend. now that will be a challenge. most of them have very few friends and i can see why. therefore it would be real interesting to see how this method would work on those with chemichal imbalances or those so deeply abused that their brains have been hardwired into unnatural and often an unworkable mess. hope that doesnt seem negative. i know several bi-polar types and they all seem to be above average intelligence and spirituality and quite fun most of the time and then…….crash. i would like to help them and be compassionate but us new agers are taught to escape abusive people. hopefully your onto something advanced enough to alter those type of patterns. best of luck and good circumstances to you all.

Dr. Joe this is a very good article. I started practising seeing the best in all people last year when I started attending Raja Yoga classes & it works wanders…its not as easy as it sounds for our egos/pride try to pull us down but it worth every effort. I love the article its cool.

I really appreciate where Dr.Joe is coming from. Working in HR I try to practice Gratitude for all I encounter on a daily basis and strongly encourage my colleagues to follow suite. It really pays off to focus on the positive and learn from the negative, not react to it. Thanks this is a great article and one I’ll share with my colleagues and friends.

I guess interactions are personal things and to get the most from them involves leaving space for response and avoiding reacting. If the other person does the same you can have an amazing experience and if they aren’t in that space maybe it’s best just to say ‘well, perhaps it’s not going to happen now or even today then – maybe in an hour or two or tomorrow.’

It’s all in the perception and when we shift our perception to a circumstance or a person our reaction is no longer automatic and we realise we have a choice in every given situation and our reaction changes and miraculously the other person seems to change for the better. Great article. Thank you.

I was amazed at how much my relationship with people changed when I started looking for the best in everyone. My work was in customer service and I found that by looking for the best, every situation was redeemable. People were so much more co-operative and my life was a lot easier. I have been doing this for years now, and it works.

This is a fantstic article. Shifting the reactive nature is a little hard, but must try.
