Who Me?

Some of us are uncomfortable receiving any kind of praise or compliment, and do our best to deflect admiring words, even if we like to hear them. Receiving praise is a skill as much as giving it.

How do you respond when you receive praise or a compliment?

Refusal to Praise

“Your depression is connected to your insolence
and refusal to praise. Whoever feels himself walking
on the path, and refuses to praise–that man or woman
steals from others every day–is a shoplifter!”
― Rumi

What would you say that those who refuse to praise are stealing?
