I need to…
…do something worthwhile, even if it’s boring, like my timesheets for work, because it’s no good sitting on the internet waiting for someone to chat to you, or looking for something interesting because the internet is NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR REAL LIFE. And neither is weed, but i’ll tackle that one another day…
Taken from ‘Each Day a New Beginning – Daily Meditations for Women’
“It is healthier to see the good points of others than to analyse our own bad ones” – Francoise Sagan
Looking for the good in others is good for one’s soul.
Comparisons we make of ourselves with others, focusing on how we fail to measure up (another woman is thinner, prettier, more intelligent, has a better sense of humour, attracts people, and on and on) is a common experience.
And we come away from the comparison feeling generally inadequate and unloving towards the other woman.
It is a spiritual truth that our love for and praise of others will improve our own self-image. It will rub off on us, so to speak.
Praise softens. Criticism hardens.
We can draw the love of others to us as we more willingly offer love and praise.”
I need to remember this. This blog will act as a reminder. Whoever wrote this book can explain it much better than i ever could (but never say never..) .
My only criticism is that if you’re a person who’s really nice about everyone all the time, you are, it seems (to me) a bit flaky. But then i guess you don’t have to be self-depricating, weak and sickly sweet to give praise to others, or to even think positively about someone. I feel like i’m naturally bitter and judgemental sometimes.. but it’s to justify my own reality/personality. Bitter-sweet symphony…
