Food for Thought

I learned another hard but important lesson this semester… something that I am still working on. My lovely advisor told me her momma always told her, “it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it”. This is something that is very difficult for me to remember because I tend to wear all my emotions and thoughts on my face and in my words, having no filter. This is not a very welcoming personality trait. I am working diligently on it but it is still a challenge, on a daily basis. I am reminded that people don't remember what you say but how you make them feel. Working toward a "people first" mentality.
