Pointing out flaws is not a favor

People already know that they are flawed and feel badly enough about it, and by people, I mean you and I.

People never do better by feeling worse. They do better when they feel better. This is why in our relationships, including our relationship with ourselves, our most important contribution is to provide a loving space for people to have compassion for themselves and shift their focus from their “flaws” to their gifts.

What might change for you and those around you if you were willing to practice doing the intense work of loving people instead of criticizing them?
