Chicken stock

For tonights kitchen magic… Chicken stock.
Gratitude today for a simple thing.
Kitchen scraps, the peels, ends and gross bits of vegetables and bones from the rotisserie chicken. Some herbs and spices.
The knowledge that has been passed down and the tech so I don’t have to wait so long to enjoy it.

A lot of people only hear enough to protect their ego, defend their image, or prove themselves right. But truly self-aware people can pause, reflect, and genuinely consider another person’s perspective even when it’s uncomfortable to hear.

That kind of maturity is rare. Because it requires humility, emotional control, and enough inner security to understand that hearing another viewpoint does not automatically make you weak or wrong.

People who instantly become defensive often react from fear, pride, or unresolved insecurity. But people who are emotionally grounded are usually able to stay calm, communicate openly, and look at situations from more than one angle before reacting emotionally.

And honestly, that ability changes relationships completely. It creates healthier conversations, deeper understanding, and less unnecessary conflict.

Because wisdom is not only about expressing your own perspective… it’s also about having the emotional intelligence to understand someone else’s without losing yourself in the process. ✨
