Words That Sting

When someone says something
that makes you uncomfortable or angry,
rather than lashing out at them,
consider the gift of their words.
What is it that makes you resist
what they say? What is the lesson
being presenting? Our reaction to
words that sting offer beautiful
opportunities to grow. The choice
is ours to see with gratitude
or with anger.
