βWhen you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.β
β Donald Miller
A couple invited some co-workers to dinner. At the table, the wife turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,
“Would you like to say grace?”
“I wouldn’t know what to say”, the girl replied.
“Just say what you hear Mom say”, the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
“Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?”
“Your time is limited, so donβt waste it living someone elseβs life. Donβt be trapped by dogma β which is living with the results of other peopleβs thinking. Donβt let the noise of othersβ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
