Jonathan StarSeeing your own smallness is called insight Honoring your own tenderness is called strength
About This Quote
Being small is like seeing your own smallness. To be honest, it’s hard to see your own smallness. No matter how much you want to, it’s hard not to appreciate the greatness of other people. It’s hard to realize that your life could be so much better than it is now.
But, once you do appreciate the greatness of other people, you can work toward becoming more great. It’s like honoring your own tenderness. Once you understand that a person is a child of God and possesses a tender heart, it’s easy to show loving kindness to every single person in the world.
