Young children are often taught that God or their parents or teachers watch their actions. The strategy behind this is that they would be more likely to behave as desired if they felt that an authority figure would know when they’re doing something contrary to established rules. Out of fear of punishment, children will often POLICE their own behavior. What if this idea of being WATCHED applied to being caught doing things right; behaving kindly to others or wisely applying long-tern thinking? We watch, WITNESS, our own behavior. When have you caught yourself doing SOMETHING RIGHT? What did you do? Why was this action important to you? How did you recognize yourself for your good actions? How can you reinforce good actions with your own expressions of gratitude?
