“Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy,” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“For today: Acting with courtesy toward myself and others contributes much toward feeling good about myself, and enables me to share it with others.”

Although I understand that being courteous has nothing to do with being right or wrong, especially when it comes to an argument that I feel strongly about, I’m not sure if I can ever master it. But my goal for today, just for today is recognizing how I can be courteous to others. I work in a circle where people constantly try to one-up each other, and although I don’t engage in that behavior, I will go out of my way to spread some genuine courtesy in my work area!
