"Those who cannot feel the littleness of great things in themselves are apt to overlook the greatness of little things in others." ~ Kakuza Okakura
Wow, well said. And the reverse is true and valuable too.
Let's aim for balance, especially in how we feel about ourselves and others.
Let's make it a way of life to look for the strengths and talents in ourselves and one another. We all have them. We have weaknesses and vulnerabilities too.
Let's build the habit of commending both ourselves and others for things done well, things large and small, and for acts of kindness and courage.
Let's be respectful, supportive, and kind to ourselves and others, no matter what...neither puffing up nor deflating ourselves nor idolizing nor demeaning anyone. We are all human. We
are all worthy.
Let's aim for reverence,
Charlene
