Best Intentions Are Nothing More Than Promises Not Kept

Just came across a quote from Earl Harvey which said, “We judge ourselves by our intentions…the rest of the world judges us by our ACTIONS!” My dad would tell us all that our “best intentions” are nothing more than promises not yet kept.

What intentions did you still have hanging out there? What action is needed to make those well-intended intentions a reality? What will be different? How? What will you DO??? 

If we make no adjustments we are doomed to the status quo and many of our best intentions will continue to be nothing more than empty promises…just sayin…

Be good to yourself…

Do Things Right? Or...

“Managers do things right…

Leaders do the right thing…”

I’m sure most of you have heard this quote one time or another. What I find interesting is that recognizing the “right thing” is the easy part…DOING is much more difficult at times.

Mark Twain once said, “Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”

Martin Luther King added, "It's never the wrong time to do the right thing." 

Be a courageous leader and DO the right thing…you CAN do it! 

Celebrate!

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.  ~Proverb

Farewell “polar vortex” – farewell snow, slush and ice – farewell barren trees and brown grass – farewell gray skies and gray cars covered with the salt of the season. It’s MARCH and with it the joys of watching nature coming back to life…

There’s something to be said of the joys this month has to offer. A sense of relief that “we made it through another tough winter” – the sense of hope and an air of a new beginning…today I’d have you to reflect on all your accomplishments thus far…CELEBRATE your hard work, CELEBRATE your successes, CELEBRATE YOU…you deserve it…YOU…each and every one of you has made a difference in the lives of so many…

So on this first Friday of March, take a look around and celebrate all that’s GOOD with the world…

Be good to yourself!
