Sometimes


People who have a problem almost always say they want to correct it -- and yet they don't want to change anything about themselves.

It's a nice idea to think that I am perfect and the rest of the world is screwed up, but it's usually not true.

All of us could use a little tweaking here and there.

The most successful people are those who can ask a true friend what they think the problem is and then step back and look at themselves through those eyes, because a true friend will not just tell you what you want to hear.  She will tell you what she really thinks.
 
You don't have to agree with her, but if life has let you down again and again, you might want to give those things a little thought.

Sometimes the world sees us as better people than we think we are and sometimes they don't see us at all -- they only see a facade we put on when we were so much younger we have forgotten it is there.

Life is too short to go around huffing and puffing and bull dozing people right and left.  Sometimes it's better to just take a big breath, relax, and do more listening than judging and talking.

Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.
