Motivational Minute (12_110)

Quote of the day:

“Always assume each and every person wants to do a better job and grow.” -- Steve Farrar

Consider:

You most likely have heard of Scrooge, the main character in the Charles Dickens’ story "The Christmas Carol". If you ask almost anyone they will tell you he was a miserable old miser who hated Christmas. However, that is not a true representation because at the end of the story he is a generous and kindly man.

It is sad that so often we don’t give people credit for the changes and growth in their life when we talk about them. Instead of seeing them in a new light we speak of them like we do Scrooge, seeing him still as the miserly old man pictured at the beginning of the story. 

Unfortunately it is easier to remember the worst in people. I think we all have some Scrooges in our lives--people we see only in a bad light. Perhaps they made a mistake once. Let's not hold that against them. It's the Scrooge at the end of the story that matters, not the one at the beginning.

Let’s take a lesson from the story, “The Christmas Carol” and encourage people in their progress and change.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
