Share Your Joy

Motivational Power Quote

Share Your Joy
“To get the full value of a joy,
you must have somebody
to divide it with.”
Mark Twain, writer


As I see it. . . . . . . .


Share your joy


Our joy is meant to be shared, and when we share that joy we create a special moment in our life and the life of person that we share it with. At the moment we share the joy we create a moment that lasts a lifetime.


Sharing our joy multiples the meaning of the joy for us and with the people in our lives that are most important to us.


Share your joy and you will make a difference in a persons life.

afford to lose.”

Never Be Bullied

Motivational Power Quote

Never Be Bullied
“Never be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one definition of your life;
define yourself.”
Harvey Feinstein, author and playwright


As I see it. . . . . . . .

Never be bullied

There are times that you voice an opinion and someone takes an opposing view to what you said and they try to bully you into silence and submission.

Bullying can take place in private, in groups or through a third party.

When someone is disagreeing with your and attempting to bully you, they will try to belittle you in front of other people to make you feel weak and to assert themselves into a power position.

They will try to make fun of your position to make you feel irrelevant. There are times where they will call you names to try to intimidate you.

Why do they try to bully you? Because they feel threaten because your position is strong and they’re fighting back from a weak position by trying to bully you into submission.

Don’t allow anyone to make you the victim.

We see bullying in every aspect of life, stand up to the bully by remaining in control. If you lose your temper you lose control of the situation and allow the bully to take control.

If the person bullying you is out of control, remain calm and stay in control of your emotions.

We see bullying in negotiations, in selling a point of view and in relationships.

Never be bullied stay in control of your emotions and you stay in control of the situation.
