“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I Choose to Feel Good About Myself
“I choose to feel good about myself. That way I am more open to learning. If people give me negative feedback or criticize something I do, I don’t interpret what they are saying as meaning that I am a ‘bad’ person. The belief that I control my own self-esteem permits me to listen to and hear their feedback in a non defensive way – looking to see if there is something I can learn.” – Ken Blanchard
Make a Decision
“To create a quantum leap, you have to really want it. I call it moving from the ‘Want To Lane’ to the ‘Got To Lane.’ Is this just something you have been thinking about, talking about, or complaining about, or is this a clear decision that you are ready to do something about? When you have chosen to take action, you have crossed into the Decision Zone. MAKE A DECISION.” – Dr. Gloria Mayfield Banks
