¨It was a wonderful thing you did....Don't undervalue it because it came easily.¨
My Real Children by Jo Walton
It's just too easy to fall into the trap of appreciating other people's skills and abilities more than your own. We deflect compliments, pointing out that someone else can do it better or faster or that it's not a big deal. But sometimes, we just need to sit back and let praise sink in. Sometimes a wonderful thing really is effortless. And just because something is hard, doesn't automatically make it admirable or worth doing.
