I found a perfect quote to go along with my post from yesterday. It is good for each of us to remember, and I'm considering having it put on a T shirt!
"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."
~ Author Unknown ~
We feel bad when anyone tries to discourage us from doing something that we feel passionate about. Do we ever remember to look at it from the other side? How often do we try to talk someone out of something, or play the devil's advocate, so to speak? We think we are helping that person in some way, perhaps. If we can get that person to see our perspective, maybe they would think twice about doing something that may be difficult or even end in failure. But in the meantime, we will also be inflicting the same discouragement on someone else that we do not like to experience ourselves.
Something to think about on this Monday morning...
