Most of us wouldn’t mind being a little more humble, but oh how we hate to be humbled! That hurts our pride, but that kind of pain is good for us if we can welcome it and let it accomplish its purpose.
Remember the mantra of Olympians: No pain, no gain!
Make Someone’s Day
Everyone has influence. Moment by moment your attitude and level of happiness are reflected in the little things you say and do, and those are bound to affect others. What kind of impact do you usually have?
Only a little gesture can have a positive impact on someone’s day.
