The Feeling
Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
I came across this quote years ago and it was one that always kinda stuck with me. I guess because I really found truth in it - in many situations...
It is undeniable we were all given things which we excel and things which we are weak in. I don't know if its just me or if others feel this way, but there are many times I feel I have failed or didn't meet the expectations that where set. Worse, I have developed a bad habit of lingering on it and not letting it go. Nevertheless, I admire those who are self-disciplined enough to not let these type of situations effect them or their perception of self. The good thing is that self-discipline can be worked on.
One way to help me shake it off was to go back to a time were someone had made me feel important. Like Maya's quote, I don't remember what it was that person said, but i do remember how this person made me feel. Important. Made me feel my skills where needed, valued and worth developing because they knew what I was capable of; However, no matter what someone thinks your capable of, what good is it if you don't even know what your capable of yourself?
I just think going to a place (according to the situation) where someone made you feel good in anyway, is one way to maintain a positive outlook within ourselves. Our cars need maintenance. Our homes need it...why don't we? Most importantly, I think its even better we be the ones to make someone feel good as well. Just as that one person made me feel years ago, I hope I can bring the same feeling to someone else.
