Quotes from Others:

“Be kind… If you have someone you appreciate or love, tell them. If there’s someone out there you absolutely hate, forgive them. It’s another way of winning that nobody ever talks about.” – Ryan Reynolds

“When I talk to managers I get the feeling that they are important. When I talk to leaders, I get the feeling I am important.” – Alexander Den Heijer

Quick Optimism:

Too much of a good thing has the potential of becoming a bad thing, except when eating ice cream. (I’ve learned this plenty of times in the last month.)

Question of the Week:

What’s your value?

If this question hits hard (it did for me), you may feel that additional thoughts aren’t necessary for this week’s question.

To provide some hopefully helpful direction, and if you are having a hard time wrestling with your value, ask yourself:

How do you add value? To your own life, to others’ lives?

I say keep up that good work.
