"Tell me how wonderful I am."

If we need or want others to compliment us, does this show that we're not very spiritual?

If we look for ways to lift others as we recognize their strengths and improvements, does this mean that we're growing spiritually?

Sometimes, we DO need encouragement from others even as we're kind to ourselves.

Let's receive that humbly if it comes.

But if we seek first to help others carry on as we speak positive words to them, our desire for others to acknowledge our worth may become less.

Your thoughts?
