I'm not going to make it a habit of sharing memes I found on Facebook here, but I did really love this quote and would like to try harder to be this sort of person, so here goes:
"Regardless of how another person interacts with you, you can give away only what you have inside to give. Just like the proverbial orange, when you squeeze it, you get what is inside-- it has nothing to do with who does the squeezing, or the circumstances surrounding the squeeze. What comes out is what is inside. If you respond to hate with hate, or anger with anger, it is not because of what was directed your way; it is because that is what is inside you. You can't give hate if you only love inside, no matter how much squeezing comes your way." -Wayne W. Dyer
As someone who has road rage nearly all the time, this feels like a better way of viewing and changing myself from the inside...
And in a note that feels related to this, Craig sent me this article about a woman's new approach to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion training and I just LOVED it. I hope she's incredibly successful because her ideas feel correct to me. I try hard to keep this blog fairly apolitical, so I'll leave it at that. But if you read and have thoughts, I'd love to hear them!
Next post will be back to pictures of my kids and such, I promise! 😉
