When you walk into a room of 10 people and 9 of them tell you how fabulous you look, how much they enjoy your company, and want to spend time with you....we still doubt their sincerity.
But let that 1 person tell us that the outfit we're wearing doesn't look good, we aren't smart enough (pick any 'enough'), or they seem to brush us off for whatever reason, we give much more validity to that person than we do to the 9 others that said good and kind truths.
BELIEVE THE 9!
