BAD – You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. Newspaper columnist Leo Aikman

MS – Rules for self discovery:

1. What we want most

2. What we think about most

3. How we use our money

4. What do we do with our leisure time

5. The company we enjoy

6. Who and what we admire

7. What we laugh at

JW – Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness. John Ortberg

EB* – Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

JD – Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. – Dr. Seuss

The quote from Leo Aikman is very insightful.

How we talk and think about others says a lot about us.

Think about your own thoughts and words.

Do you assume the best or worst in others?

Do you see other’s strengths or their weaknesses?

Do you point out their faults or their accomplishments?

Our words and thoughts have power. How we choose to invest this power relative to the other people in our lives is a very important part of our philosophy.

Find a way today to think and say something positive about those in your life.

Make it a great rest of the day.

Important programming note – The Phrase that Pays will now be moving to Tuesday as we moved our leadership team meeting to Tuesdays.

I also realized that a few of the daily attitude emails last week went out to an incomplete list. If you missed these and want to find them, just go to www.thedailyattitudeemail.com to see the posts.

One more thing – if you know of anyone that would like to get these emails just send them my way or send them to the site.

End of programming notes.
