What Do I Magnify?

  • What a beautiful red orange sunset!
  • Look at all the trash floating down the gutter!
  • That’s a lovely looking family sitting over there!
  • Their kids are little rascals!
  • He has such a good way of speaking!
  • Her voice is too shrill!
  • They keep their yard so neat and tidy!
  • That place looks like a dump!
  • I think I look great today!
  • I’m so fat and ugly!
  • That was an excellent article to read!
  • I don’t agree with a thing in there!
  • What a delicious meal she prepared!
  • I didn’t like the salad!
  • What a sharp looking outfit she’s wearing!
  • It would have looked better in blue!

What do we see? What are we looking for? Are we looking to build up or to put down?

Too often when we magnify another’s perceived flaws, we’re really feeling bad about something inside of us, but if we speak something (even think something) good, positive, uplifting about the other person or situation, we will begin to feel better about ourselves.

What do we magnify? What do we really want to magnify? What would we like others to magnify about us?

Stay tuned for Part 2, a true confession from me of my past and now my freedom.
