Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

When we look at ourselves and others, do we have a tendency to see more of our own strengths and more of other people’s weaknesses?

If that is the way we tend to view things, we (sadly) will never be a blessing to others.

There are people who tend to only utter criticism, but never encouraging words. And it is usually because such people find no room in their heart to accept, see and hear about other people’s strengths.

If there are people who are better than me, how should I react? We should ‘accept’ that fact, AND be thankful for it.

When we have a big heart that is big enough to accept other people’s strengths and victories, we will be a happier person.

Let us strive to have a heart and mind that can accept other people’s strengths, enjoy other people’s victories and verbally acknowledge other people’s talents and gifts.

“A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”
Proverbs 14:30
