Let’s think about how we express ourselves, and review whether it’s positive or negative. It starts with you, so ‘If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?’ (M.Angelou) How we talk to ourselves is much more important than we may realize. ‘Every time you express gratitude or compassion for any aspect of yourself or someone else, you breathe life in.’ (M.Gladis) Having positive expressions for ourselves then allows us to do the same for others. ‘Let us be quicker to praise than to find fault. Let us be quicker to thank others than to complain.’ (D.Tutu) Join me in expressing the positive while avoiding the negative – your growth will be much faster and better.
