Anne Jackson shared a post the other day with a bunch of qualities she wants to be “instead of” other qualities. She asked for us to share our lists in the comments, but might grew rather large, so I decided to post it here instead.
- Humble instead of proud
- Meek instead of arrogant
- Tutor instead of teacher
- Friending instead of meeting
- Reminding instead of inventing
- Encouraging instead of scaring
- Righteous instead of right
- Commenting instead of posting
- Grace instead of fairness
- Giving instead of getting
- Growing instead of changing
- Thankful instead of entitled
- Producing instead of consuming
- Caring instead of flirting
- Supporting instead of boycotting
- Committing instead of trying
- Gifts instead of rewards
- Initiating instead of procrastinating
- Responding instead of reacting
- Blessed instead of okay
- Sincere instead of authentic
- Close instead of far
- Smiling instead of not
- You instead of me
What’s on your list?
