According to Jonathan Cainer:
You can only do so much alone. To make real progress in life, you have to be part of a team. You have to work for those you love and respect, and with those you can’t relate to as well. You have to find a way to negotiate, compromise, accept. You may also have to learn how to do life’s two most difficult things. These both involve forgiveness. The second hardest thing is to forgive another person for something seemingly unforgivable. The only thing harder is to request that forgiveness for yourself!
Your Week Ahead – Love Focus: Criticism. For some people, it’s a sport. For others, a way of life. We find fault with each other, with ourselves, with situations and with arrangements. Indeed, the only thing we never think to find fault with, is the process of finding fault. Too many fingers are being pointed too harshly in your world now. You won’t create sweetness and light the minute you withdraw some of your own complaints, but you will help to break a cycle of mutual disapproval and petty point-scoring. That will make all matters of the heart much happier.
