Memo From Michael: A Father-Daughter Adventure

in Commentaries, Parenting, Family, Personal growth, Quick Thoughts, The Good Life

WORTH SEEING: Poster – Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges; whether we seize them or not, the New Year will bring new opportunities. The year is ours to make of it what we will.

WORTH SEEING: Poster – Your childhood is not defined by what you did or what happened to you, it’s the memories you choose to dwell on. Banish ideas that darken your past and you will brighten your future. Michael Josephson

QUOTE AND POSTER: Don’t let others DEFINE YOU. Don’t let the past CONFINE YOU. Take charge of your life with CONFIDENCE and DETERMINATION and there are NO LIMITS on what you can do or be. Michael Josephson

OBSERVATION: Authentic constructive criticism must be motivated by a sincere desire to help, and delivered in a way that engenders gratitude rather than defensiveness or resentment.
