Just because someone says something doesn't make it true.
If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.
Actions speak louder than words.
Familiar sayings, most familiar with my childhood. So why are they coming to mind today? Well probably because last night while I was out having a great time living up Mardi Gras someone wasn't speaking very nice about me or to me. And I laughed it off. Even laughed at the person.
Perhaps I shouldn't have though. Perhaps I should have kicked the person's butt for being cruel and thoughtless and unkind. Maybe I should have reminded them that words do hurt even when they aren't true and it would be best if they would stop speaking.
And if did.......well then today I would have a sore butt and be pouting from the pointed lesson.
Yep. It was me. I was putting myself down. Laughing about me, making jokes at my expense. Today it dawned on me I really am my own enemy. How often is my self destruct on auto pilot? How much is it hurting me? What can I do to fix it? I have no idea, but I do know I need to do something.
