Jake at Pioneer Park in St. George This has nothing to do with my post but I wanted to put this picture somewhere! |
I want to always stop and think when someone is doing something that is frustrating, or saying something that sounds personal, or hurtful to me, that It is NOT about me. It is about what they are going through, and how they are feeling, and what they are thinking. I want to be compassionate. I want to remember always that "in the quiet heart is hidden sorrows that the eye can't see". (Lord, I Would Follow Thee, by Susan Evans McCloud) When things seem hurtful, I want my go to response to be love and kindness. That is the person that I want to be.

I had a friend whose motto was "Assume Good Intent." It's helped me realize that most people are not doing something maliciously. Great thoughts!
