Looking at old pictures often makes me sad.
It reminds me of the beauty and friends I once had.
I was happy and pretty and having a blast.
But I’ve learned that most good things in life never last.
I don’t want to get bitter or cynical or jaded.
But the truth is that some of my brightness has faded.
And now the future’s ambiguous, and the path is unclear.
The waters are choppy, not sure where to steer.
We’ve all heard the catchphrase, “The Best is Yet to Be!”
But when it comes to me…..guess we’ll have to wait and see.

In a work environment, is repeatedly asking questions a sign that you are seeking self-improvement through constructive feedback, or does it instead make you look incompetent and unconfident?

“I expect great things from you, Katherine.”
-HMJ

It’s good to have great expectations for ourselves. Whether it’s academics, career, fitness, spirituality, or in any other aspect of self-improvement, we should hold ourselves to a high standard. Gordon B Hinckley (former prophet/ president of TCOJCOLDS) exhorted us, “Don’t be a scrub! Rise to the ground of excellence.”
…
But sometimes, unfortunately, raising the bar can mean that we are TOO hard on ourselves, especially when we make mistakes. As important as it is to have high goals, it’s even more important to practice self-compassion and self-forgiveness when we fall short.

Love this, love this, love this, love this! I have felt before that sometimes kindness (especially in female) is mistakenly equated with naivete. Smart people aren’t supposed to be considerate, right? They’re usually thought of as arrogant or high-browed. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It shouldn’t be that way. You can be brilliant, creative, bursting with insight, and still be friendly, warm-hearted, and kind to others. I’d like to think I’m that way 🙂
Truth.
