-Objectivity
-Unselfishness
-Acceptance
A few brief thoughts and Tweets I have sent on each of these Principles.

Objectivity
Don't be lead around by your emotions.
Look at life objectively and choose the best response.
Our ability to choose lies in the space between stimulus and response.
Create that space.

Unselfishness
Do a kind deed, that only benefits another, without any thought of yourself.
Don't be too wrapped up in yourself and your problems.
Take a look around you.
Who needs help?
Go help them.

Acceptance
Accept whatever happens to you.
You can still act to influence what you can.
But it all starts with Acceptance.
Accept --> Act --> Accept --> Act --> Accept ...
And on and on.
