We all know that old saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” But, we can’t help but do it sometimes, can we? We see a person, and we make assumptions about them based on their appearance. We might think that they’re shallow or uneducated. It turns out that’s not always the case. Sometimes people who look a certain way; turn out to be way more imaginative and interesting.

So, this week, don’t judge a book by its cover. Instead, take the time to get to know somebody and find out what they’re really like. You might be surprised at what you discover!

Everyone has a story to tell, no matter how they look on the outside.

We all have our stories that makeup who we are and how we see the world. They shape our psychology and life experiences, and they often define us in ways that we don’t even realize. And while it’s easy to assume that everyone’s story is pretty much the same, the truth is that everyone has a unique perspective that is worth hearing.

Next time you meet someone, take a moment to listen to their story. You never know what you might learn.
