Jeweler or Jewelery
R U A Jeweler or Jewelry.
Have you ever known someone who is especially skilled in and passionate about finding flaws. I'm talking about the kind of people who take whatever you say the wrong way, judge your every error as a fatal flaw and/or offer 100 problems with every creative idea, solution or expression. These people are in pursuit of perfection and only value those elements of life that have the fewest apparent flaws. I call these people the "Jewelers" because they have a tendency to rate the value of everything, but, of course, their evaluation is totally objective and based on their perception. These people and their unique perspectives have value because they can help you identify areas for improvement. However, for every jeweler in you life you need several pieces of "jewelry".
Your "jewelry" are those people who magnify your beauty and contribute to your value. In other words they "appreciate" you. These people see your flaws but believe that the dirt around you does not devalue the treasure within you. These people encourage and coach your refinement, while demonstrating their commitment to you during the process. Ultimately your jewelry complements and celebrates your brilliance.
You may often find that your jewelers and your jewelry are in the same person. Let your jeweler provoke you to refinement and enjoy the adornment of your jewelry’s compliments. But as you interact with others, try to be jewelry. Because every body knows that the gifts of good jewelry can make life richer.
