Seek Kind People and Beware Wolves In Sheep Clothing

Reading The HeartsIn surrounding yourself with people in life,

Seek Kind People and Beware Wolves In Sheep Clothing.

Kind people are pretty easy to sense. You just feel it with them. Always helping, a twinkle in their eye, MOST animal lovers, thinking of OTHERS nearly all the time. But BEWARE also the wolves in sheep clothing. They can put off an "aura" of goodness but deep down they are users. We may have to work with them in business but in our personal lives of friends, love relationships, marrying STEER clear of these types.

You can uncover their "use" ways by listening to their words very carefully. It truly is about them. What's in it for them ONLY!

If they don't see what's in it for them, they will drop you like a hot potato.

Users and wolves in sheep clothing MASK who they really are. When you discover their deception it is almost like you want to say they CHANGED from what you initally thought, but in reality they REVEALED themselves to you and the sheep outer skin was torn off. Listen also how they talk about other people. If they are demeaning, they are not nice at their core. A person who is not nice to the waiter, someone who can do nothing for them, is not a nice person. A person my dog does not like is not a nice person. Again the kind ones you just FEEL it very strongly. The wolves in sheep clothing, you somehow have this gut feeling that you have been had. Don't be hard on yourself with them for fooling you, they are quite good at their deception, cause they WANT something from you. The relationship is conditional. Also, you should never be treated as an "option" by anyone. You are valuable 24 HOURS A DAY.

Cleave to the kind ones, and hug them all day, they are treasures in your life. And dump the wolves!

"Someone who is not nice to the waiter."

   I met a potential client recently, for lunch.  She is upper middle class, sings in her church choir, is charming and delightful. 

   Until the waiter arrived at our table.  Then her real personality came out.  She talked down to him, she was rude and demanding.  She told me, "Oh I just cannot STAND servers like that!"  Incredibly, the guy was doing a great job; that is why I chose that restaurant and asked for that table.

    I have no interest in working with this lady.  I will not be contacting her again.

I agree that animal lovers are generally nice people! And pets have great instincts about people that should be paid attention to. (Look, I started a sentence with a conjunction and ended it with a preposition ~ haha) :)

Hi Gary, Timely advice....there's a difference between someone who's changed and someone who's revealed themselves. Somthing I'm going to remember.

Like Sharon I can 'feel' a wolf in sheeps clothing. Pretty easy to see through the slick package and that came with learning over the years.

Over the course of a lifetime, I've come across plenty of people that fit that description. Now, I'm a much better judge. I agree with your animal statement.

For the most part, I've learned to trust my gut when I meet people. Unfortunately, there are quite a few "not so nice" folks out there!

Gary... Sage advice. I'm pretty intuitive, so I've not been fooled by the wolf too many times. Yet I have learned lessons from them and I remain alert! Good read.

Good evening Gary ... what a great post and love the picture.  It is hurtful to see someone treating another poorly or using another.  Totally agree ... avoid at all costs.   I also am very aware on how my pets respond to people.  You are so on target about their reactions.

Gary, "When you discover their deception it is almost like you want to say they CHANGED from what you initially thought, but in reality they REVEALED themselves to you and the sheep outer skin was torn off."

I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me ... even here in the Rain. I am nice at my core. When someone deceives me, uses me, lies to me, cheats me, I have nothing nice to say about them.

Gary- I may be lacking in many areas but my gut instinct is always on target.  Yes, hang with those wonderfully kind people out there.  They are so worth the time.

"Users and wolves in sheep clothing MASK who they really are"  So true -- it is important to listen closely to avoid these folks if at all possible

Oh so true Gary.  Your post picture scares me.  Want it to be a dog enjoying his master's love and yet the bike laying nearbye makes me uneasy.  Just yesterday had someone tell me they never trust someone that says they do not like dogs.

There sure are plenty of users out there. I try not to interact with them In the past I managed to almost get sucked dry by one. It will not happen again.
