POWER
Remember that these five letters will mean the difference in everything you do and whomever you are with.
Power from within can change stinking thinking, acting and looking.
Purpose - What is truly important in your life? Set boundaries for yourself; set standards. It doesn’t matter if you living in a mansion on the hill or living in a valley, your achievements are only as big as you can see them. Reach for the stars! A senator made a statement to a graduating class, saying, “There is a whole lot more room at the top.” There is more room at the top but it takes purpose to get there.
Others - We must learn to communicate with others both within and outside our culture, race, and social groups. Communication means getting along with others and changing our stiff-necked attitudes. When we pull together through communication, we can make beautiful music!
Widen your horizon. Think beyond your small walls; visualize taking a trip to another country or doing something you’ve never done before.
Encouragement - Everybody needs encouragement. Find someone to build up; be honest about your encouragement!
Realize where the power is; it is in love. An elderly gentleman once told me that if you are a chauffeur or a butler, you always open doors with your heart and not your head. No matter what you are doing, you will always open more doors if you use your heart.
Until we meet again, remember to Make Manners Matter!
