Life


When people show you who they are, believe them.
—Maya Angelou

Wise words from a very wise woman.
Makes sense to me. Life is easier when you can learn from the actions of others. And that is all I can say on this subject.

Well said! Those are truly wise words of advice. Remember, just because people are connected to us in certain ways (whether family, friends, etc.), that does not give them permission to fill our lives with poison (whether in the form of hate, negativity, pessimism, etc.).

Very, very wise words, indeed. Several people in my life have 'shown me who they are' recently. Some good, some bad but nothing I didn't already know.

I hope all is well...

Great quote and words to remember.

Amen.
Amen.
Amen.

And that is all. :)

Do all you can to never let mean people win - they "win" when they suck the good out of us, when we think less of ourselves or when we lash out at others because we are hurting.
