We Can Become Love Finders Rather Than Fault Finders

From the book Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
- Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. and Diane V. Cirincione

When we experience separation in our relationships it is because we are feeling that we must find fault in other people. However, our spiritual being sees relationships as a way of finding love - which results in joining. It teaches us that it's really much easier to love than to hate.


The Children's Version of the Twelve Principles of Attitudinal Healing:
  1. Love is one of the most important things in life!
  2. It is important to get better - so we must not let fear trap us!
  3. Giving and receiving are the same thing.
  4. Don't live in the past and don't live in the future.
  5. Do what you can now. Each minute is for giving love.
  6. We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving instead of not forgiving.
  7. We can find love instead of fault.
  8. If something is the matter outside, don't go crazy, because you are safe inside.
  9. We are students and teachers to each other.
  10. Don't just look at the bad things, look at the good things too!
  11. Since love is Forever, death need not be scary.
  12. We can always see other people as giving love or asking for help.
