"I'm tired of people being ugly to each other." John Coffee, "The Green Mile"- thanks to a friend of mine who posted this on Facebook. My friend and I were on the same wavelength that day as I was watching some negative, petty things going on between two friends of mine. Since then, these two friends no longer talk. What a waste of a friendship. How sad that we cannot forgive and get past some of each others' quirks. To me that shows a massive lack of self awareness. If we expect others to overlook our quirks, how can we refuse to overlook theirs?
What if we could forgive each other and ourselves for being imperfect? What if instead of responding with negativity to negativity, we responded in a positive, encouraging manner? Can you imagine the surprise and the (more than likely) positive response. This not only helps the other person involved, but it makes your experience positive as well.
Do you realize the extremely powerful, positive impact you can have on others?
