SIMPLICITY OF TRUTH
Tuesday, June 15, 2021
 
 
I borrowed these but promised I would re-gift them:
 
Don't let praise go to your head.
 
Don't let criticism go to your heart.
 
Simple truths, the kind you put in a drawer (or every drawer), stick on your computer, shaving mirror, or fridge door.
 
If you use these words, please promise you’ll pass them along to someone else because these are way too wise to keep to ourselves.

OPEN FOR VENTING
I've done this for quite a while - the royal wave that is. Throws people off guard I think!, SC, Chestermere, B
 
Yeah, but it’s also a lot of fun. Like many things in life, there’s a trade-off, RH, Calgary, AB
 
Hhaha! Who hasn't been there? I have resolved my own dismay at my behaviour by a) letting people in as often as possible, even when I think they're being 'pushy' and b) repeating often... "Bless them. Forgive me. Forgive them. Bless me" and I move on... Thanks for the smiles this morning, LG, Calgary, AB
