Appreciate the Differences

     It’s no surprise to anyone to find out each of us are uniquely different from each other, some in subtle ways others in more dynamic ways.  We continually change physically, mentally and emotionally hopefully growing in to a better you. 
     We all tend to gravitate to others with similar interest and personalities but over time I have learned to appreciate the differences in others, which widens my perspective on life.  Even family members can be completely different with a variety of quirks so it’s wise to expect the same from others.  If we can learn to ignore other people’s quirks and appreciate the differences, we might learn something new.
     Something that works for me is to be quick to forgive and slow to anger.  Encourage and celebrate the differences in others but avoid comparisons especially to yourself.   Most of all celebrate your own unique qualities.  You're all you have so make the best of you.  “Just Saying…”
