An expression that is used to
let someone know you are on their side, you are looking out for their best
interest, and/or they can count on you.
I published a blog the other
day that had a couple of grammatical errors.
A friend of many years let me know this after reading my post. She and I have talked about being
negative. Well, actually, I have told
her I felt she tended to be negative.
Even though she had some
concerns that I might take her criticism the wrong way, she let me know there
were a couple of mistakes. She understands
that what I publish is a reflection of me.
I really appreciated her taking the time to let me know about the
mistakes.
I am sure that at sometime in
your life you were told, or have told someone else, “It isn’t what your saying,
it’s how you’re saying it.”
It isn’t always easy to tell
a friend they made a mistake, or are behaving in a way that isn’t in their best
interest. AND, it isn’t always easy to
hear these things from other people.
I believe when we care and we
have the other person’s best interest at heart, letting them know we are
concerned about their choices is a risk worth taking. Or in my case, telling me I should be more
careful when posting my blogs.
If someone were to ask you
how you feel about this, what would you say?
And, is there someone in your life that has your back?
