Hello folks! Happy Sunday to all of you and I hope you find yourselves in good spirits today! I want to just remind you to give yourselves credit for your daily, weekly, monthly and annual accomplishments. If you Tuesday you decide to run three miles and you accomplish it, give yourself a pat on the back for honoring a commitment. If by the end of the academic and work week, you've shown up all your classes, your scheduled work shifts and learned something new in both, then again give yourself credit for doing so. It may sound somewhat silly to say "Good job Luis", but if Luis is handling business then proper recognition is in order. My point in sharing this with you is so that you understand that your accomplishments have value because they show that you are moving in the right direction; and in a world where our reality is so often altered (for better or worse) by trends in the form of the technology, ideas, personalities and fashion, it is easy to lose sight of just how creative and unique you really are. Acknowledge and embrace the greatness of others; but at the same time, recognize that you are born with special talents and abilities that society needs in order to become whole. As always, be brave and be kind.
