This week let's focus on personal power...

As we enter the New Year, let's take a moment to reflect on how we choose to face adversity:

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that created the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. 

I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. 

In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or dehumanized. 

If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."

- Goeth

Wishing you a peaceful and prosperous year. -Stephen
