OBSERVATION: Every full life has enough BRIGHT DAYS and DARK DAYS, TRIUMPHS and DEFEATS to justify viewing the past through the lens of GRATITUDE or DISAPPOINTMENT. The lens you choose will determine how you experience your life and whether you look to the future with HOPE and ENTHUSIASM or WORRY and FEAR. Choose the lens of positivity.

WORTH SEEING: Poster – There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found while journeying east and west. The only folks we really wound are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know. We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow to those who love us best. — Ella Wheeler Wilcox

WORTH SEEING: Poster – Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting a bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian. Lots of good things come to good people, but virtue does not provide immunity to misfortune, which strikes everyone at random times in unanticipated ways. When your turn comes, don’t take it personally.

WORTH SEEING: Poster – Ordinary people, even weak people, can do extraordinary things through temporary courage generated by a situation, but the person of character does not need the situation to generate his courage.

Don’t Miss This One! OBSERVATION & WORTH SEEING: Out of the Closet. I know many of the people who follow my work have a deeply grounded religious belief that homosexuality is a sin. Many fortify their convictions by believing that God would not make any child homosexual and, therefore, that it is a choice to be gay or lesbian. Whether you fall into this group or simply want to better understand the human dimension of this aspect of the bullying problem, please take the time to watch the videos included here. It could change your perspective, maybe even your life.
