‘Accentuate the positive.’
“Don’t be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. ‘Accentuate the positive.’ Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.” – Gordon B. Hinckley
I Am Me….
You do your thing. I do my thing. I’m not here to live up to your expectations nor you to mine. You are you. I am me. If our paths should cross, that is beauty. Fritz Pearl – (The judgement theory we should have towards each other.)
Forces Driving Changes
The main source of personal change is pain. If you’re in pain, you are more
open to humility and personal sacrifice, leading to inside-out, principle-centered change. If you’re not feeling deep pain, you’re likely going to have entrenched interests and politics running things. The primary driving force of organizational change is the global economy. The standard of quality is now so high that unless you have an empowered work force and the spirit of partnership with all stakeholders, you can’t compete. We’re either forced by circumstance to be humble, or we can choose to be humble out of recognition that principles ultimately govern. To be humble is good, regardless of the reason. But it’s better to be humbled by conscience than by circumstance.
by Stephen R. Covey
