Friday Frills - Being Thoughtful

You Are Thoughtful When...

You are guided by the facts,

no matter how unpalatable they may be.

You realize that the right way

and the expedient way are not always the same.

You learn from the mistakes of others,

without rejoicing in their failures.

You put the needs of others before your own,

and tend to their wishes before they ask.

You consider the personalities

and feelings of others when searching for solutions.

You know that doing the little things for others

will occupy the biggest part of their hearts.

You know when to speak and when to keep silent;

When to act and when to wait.

You do good for the benefit of others,

without expecting anything in return.

You are humble enough

to acknowledge wisdom in others.

You are careful in your use of words,

and think sensibly before saying them out loud.

When you admit that reality is greater

than the sum total of your own experiences.

Have you exercised thoughtfulness this week?
