Sometimes we see others through external metrics like their accomplishments, degrees, fame or possessions. These markers can impress us and temporarily cause us to forget to evaluate whether they also have other, more important qualities like authenticity, kindness, integrity and open-heartedness. Though it’s easy to be dazzled by these recognized metrics of success, once the initial fascination wears off, we’re just relating to another person. In reality, what’s most important is what’s inside. Because, no matter how rich, powerful or famous someone is, we never have a relationship with their image. We have it with who…
They really are.
