A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, 
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. 
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humainized or de-humanized. 
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming." 

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

(I need to remember this more often!)

Word for the Year.

Have you chosen your word for the year yet?  Some Quote of the Week members have with a variety of great words including perseverance, faith, hope, blossom, change, grow, and forgive.  Last year my word was GRACE and this year it is is 525,600 (as in minutes in a year to make the best of).  Anyway, it isn't too late to choose your word that will guide you throughout the  year and when you do, SHOUT it out!!!!
