Subject: [DailyDialogue #163] Recognition
"If you wish your merit to be known, acknowledge that of other people." - Oriental Proverb
We all want our worth to be recognized. Telling everyone else how great we are doesn't seem to work too well. Asking others to compliment us doesn't reap much reward. Looking for the good in others seems to take the focus off our emptiness and fills us up.
When I hear others speak eloquently, I tend to think " I could do that". The truth is that when the time comes for me to prepare for a talk, I tend to question my ability. If I tell the truth and recognize the gifts of others, I begin to feel better about myself and my character. If I can see the good in others, I begin to see it in myself as well.
Experiment: Acknowledge your partner for five of their qualities, abilities and achievements. Ask them to mirror you and say thank you.
Affirmation: I share the Truth about the core essence of others.
