Quote of the day:
“Treat a man as he appears to be, and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Consider:
People often judge one another by what they see on the outside—the initial reactions, the perception of a person's character, the hearsay circulated about an individual. It's often difficult to see the person behind the mask, to see his/her heart and what their intentions are. It's sad that so much is measured by what's on the outside, because it's the heart that counts.
It takes love, hope, faith, and understanding to nourish the potential in another, and to believe that there is more to an individual than meets the eye.
You may think that you know a person well enough to label them as beyond changing, but would you have the same said of you? Would you want to be boxed in and limited to what people presume you are? Would you consider how people view and treat you to be a fair representation of who you really are and how you would want to be treated? Think about that, and then consider how you view others and how you treat them.
Wishing you all the best,
