“When someone says words that may not feel good in your body, seem sarcastic in tone, and are meant to judge versus uplift you, this only offers you greater opportunities to raise the vibration of your response. By responding to anyone’s criticism with love, compassion and acceptance, you are stepping forward as a master of relationships to create your own experiences, which has nothing to do with how anyone treats you.” ~ Matt Kahn
“Not only do we often find what we are looking for in people, we sometimes create what we are looking for in people.”
J. Keith Murnighan, Do Nothing!
“One theory says that if you treat people well, you’re more likely to encourage them to do what you want, making all the effort pay off. Do this, get that. Another one, which I prefer, is that you might consider treating people with kindness merely because you can. Regardless of what they choose to do in response, this is what you choose to do. Because you can.”
Seth Godin
“The challenge for leaders is to live up to their fundamental responsibility as human beings: to treat others as themselves.” ~ Keshavan Nair, A Higher Standard of Leadership
