Don't Hold a Grudge
Quote:"Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but
because you deserve peace."Lesson to learn:Being angry at someone
hurts only you. Let go of your anger, not for the other person, but
for yourself. Remember, forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. Forgiving
means accepting that it happened.
How to Truly Listen
Quote:"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most
people listen with the intent to reply."Lesson to learn:Ask yourself
if you're truly listening to others or if you're being distracted by
your own chatter. Sometimes, listening means staying silent to give
others a chance to talk, soaking it in, then perhaps responding if
your response is needed.
Stop Comparing Yourself With Others
Quote:"The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we
compare our behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight
reel."Lesson to learn:You may think everyone is better than you are,
but you are only seeing the image they portray to others. Everyone
has their own fears and weaknesses - after all, we're all human. Stop
comparing yourself to others, because you'll always come up short.
