RESPECT

Be polite to the grinches you encounter without expectation of reciprocation. Difficult? It can be! The temptation is to return in kind especially when someone is unkind. However, with a mindset of respect for others, your actions will be directed in a positive direction. Let the following quote sink in.

Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners.
~Laurence Sterne
