Just Ask Elizabeth: Knowing Your Worth

Dear Elizabeth,

Sometimes I feel that my words of help fall on closed minds and closed ears. Any words of encouragement?

Dear No More Closed Minds and Closed Ears in New Canaan,

It is sometimes very difficult to know if people are really listening to and taking in your words of help. I have had people, though, tell me on the spot or even months later how much my words and books have helped them. I always just think that my message can help if they are open to it. Patience is the best advice that I can give you because people are on their very own timetables. Meet people where they are and go from there.
