"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou I often joke that I grew up with a pencil in hand to check off all the boxes on the list of things I thought I was supposed to do. It took me a long time to get to a point where I could flip this way of thinking. I had to learn that if I spent all my time trying to figure out what everyone else wanted, I was doing a huge disservice to myself and those around me . It is when we can "own" who we are, honor who we are and acknowledge all the good we bring to the world, that we can be in a position to honor others and see the good in them. |
