Our Beyond Black Women: 30 Days of Inspiration Series is still heating up with Day 15! Today's topic is inspired by a quote from Bishop T.D. Jakes, “when you are a giraffe and you receive criticism from turtles, they are only reporting the view from the level they are on.” I'm inspiring you to use your discernment to understand how to accept others and their criticism depending on what their vantage point is. The affirmation for today is: I attract those who can give me what I need when I need it.
QUOTABLES:
“If you need perspective from someone to help you advance in your life, think about if they have the perspective to help you.”
“Sometimes the people who are around us, are not able to give us what we need to soar because their vantage point is completely different than ours.”
“When we expect turtles to understand our experience as a giraffe, we may feel disappointed.”
“Accept everyone for where they are and be mindful of what we expect from them.”
