Some books, and people, are game changers!

We have one customer, a Reverend Wells, who is the utmost in turning frowns upside down. One of my favorite expressions from him is, "You're under the spout where the glory pours out!" Or

"Refuse to condemn yourself!"

"Get yourself an attitude of gratitude!"

One of my friends, Buds, gave me this INCREDIBLE book called

Mindset. On p. 110, Dr. Carol Dweck writes, "...One (factor) that was absolutely key was the type of leader who in every case lead the company into greatness. These were not the larger than life, charismatic types who oozed ego and self-proclaimed talent. They were self-effacing people who constantly asked questions and had the ability to confront the must brutal answers-that is, to look failures in the face, even their own, while maintaining faith that they would succeed in the end."

I love the growth mindset!
