feelings, nothing more that feelings

I've learned that people will forget what you said, 

people will forget what you did, 
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
-Maya Angelou

All I have to say is amen sista!

This is probably a really random post, but it's been on my mind.
I've been thinking a lot about how people treat each other.
How one person can affect others so significantly

Both positively and negatively.

We all have either been apart of it or a spectator of it.

How you make people feel is huge.
Belittling them will not make them respect you.
Only fear you or disregard everything you say.
Not very Christlike if I say so myself.
People can put on masks but they eventually wear off.
And your true character shines through.

It has had me thinking of how I treat my peers, family, friends co-workers and strangers.
All I have control over is myself.
Not others. Not their actions or their words.

Sometimes I wish I did, but I don't.

I've realized how much your actions can really affect those around you and because of that I'm going to try to be better at how I treat those around me.
