• They may be sloppy or tidy, work differently than you want, or be annoying at times, & probably we are all annoying sometimes. BUT to be successful we must:
• 1) look for the good & keep it mostly in mind. Might be good to say 20+ positive things before every negative, & wait some days & pray, before the negative.
• 2) find a practical way to work together (requires forgiveness and sometimes giving in, especially to your senior companion, but not to sin)
• 3) forgive, service, be/pray for patience, sacrifice etc.
• 4) praying for Charity, and Never Giving Up !
