Quick is a measure of how often we discredit our abilities and our worth. Often we do it in our thoughts about another in regard to their ability, appearance, beliefs, etc. We pronounce by silent disclosure or aloud, our discontentment with ourselves and others. The idea that we must meet some grand expectation, that usually we create, is a belief we somehow embrace and allow to guide our perspective.
A shift provides an opportunity to change a perspective by questioning the validity of the thinking and expectation. A decision to reevaluate current opinions and replace them with alternative ideas. For example, instead of being quick to discredit ourselves or another, what if, instead, we were to honor ourselves and each other. Honor our abilities and call ourselves worthwhile and honor each other as being worthwhile.
To honor is to respect. It's applicable always, not just when one thinks of religion or country. Maybe, including words that reflect higher ideals into our daily thoughts will portray a distinctive demeanor. With a daily behavior of honoring oneself and others.
So, shall we honor or discredit?
