“Don’t hide from criticism. Don’t run away from it. Because criticism will help chip away all that is false, all that keeps you from experiencing the truth of who you are, and all that keeps you from being united with your soul.”

— Luminita D. Saviuc, The Purpose Fairy Founder and Blogger-in-Chief

  6. Be sincere in your praise.

  7. Show you care.

II. Build An Inner Circle Of…

  • Great People

  • Inspiring People

  • Persistent People

  • Loving People

  • Optimistic People

  • Diverse People

  • Honest People

  • Can-Do People

Build an inner circle of people with whom you can seek and share wisdom, solutions, truth, advice, compassion, love, and encouragement. Every relationship, whether brief or lasting, helps determine who you are and who you will become. So choose wisely!

III. The Power of Humility

  • Humility encourages “we” rather than “me.”

  • Humility values learning moments.

  • Humility promotes character.

  • Humility keeps perspective.

  • Humility cultivates potential and opportunities.

  • Humility is gracious, kind and inspires greatness.

  • Humility loves you where you are.

IV. Question

What is it that makes my life and work meaningful?

“Turn down the volume of your negative inner voice and create a nurturing inner voice to take it’s place. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move on instead of obsessing about it. Equally important, don’t allow anyone else to dwell on your mistakes or shortcomings or to expect perfection from you.”
