*Quickly help people instead of quickly criticizing or condemning them

These simple "people affirming practices" are "right"... At my home In my office On my assembly line During my classes As a part of my business Anywhere

"THAT'S OKAY"

You could have an opportunity to use that phrase this week.

Try it. The people who hear you say it may like it!

Why? Because...

*People need to be affirmed. *People need to be assured that we all make mistakes. *People need to be helped.

SAID IN ANOTHER WAY

If you...

Are determined to build people up instead of tearing them down,

Place a high value on relationships with others,

Are realistic in assessment of your own failures and successes,

Work hard at being more helpful than you are demanding,

And continually strive to bring out best in people,

You will be motivated to maintain a "That's okay" style of of life when it comes to interacting with your family, friends, co-workers and everyday acquaintances.

IT SURE AIN'T EASY

No, it's not. We fail. We don't always affirm, put things in perspective or help.

But if we value things I just mentioned, we remind *ourselves* of same two word philosophy, apply it to person we see in mirror each day, and try to get it right next time!

Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,

SAID IN ANOTHER WAY...

Right Vision + Strong Conviction + Determination = Focused, Exceptional Living

And of course that spells "influence" in great big capital letters.

Think about it:

The power of living an exceptional life is power of influence.

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

May I encourage you to hold on to positive, well thought through "visions" you have entertained over years?

And to pay attention to feelings inside of you that say, "This must be done"?

Maybe timing is not right... for now. Maybe it shouldn't happen... just yet.

Or possibly it should! It could be time for determination to take stand and cause you to make first step towards accomplishment your vision.

Or second. Or third.

I don't know -- but chances are you do.

Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,

Lee
