At home, be grateful. At work, be appreciative. Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Appreciation is a gift we give to others.
Michael Josephson
Image
For many of us gratitude to others comes with a sense of debt that can never be fully paid and therefore the things we are thankful for are never really ours.
Michael Josephson
Image
Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges whether we seize them or not, the New year will bring new opportunities.
Michael Josephson
Image
If you want to be happy, learn to be alone without being lonely. Learn that being alone does not mean being unhappy. The world is full of plenty of interesting and enjoyable things to do and people who can enrich your life.
Michael Josephson
Image
A caring heart that listens is often more valued than an intelligent mind that talks.

Image
It's a great joy but no test of love or commitment to take your son to a ball game. You really prove your credentials as a good dad when you are willing to take your daughter shopping - more than once.

Don't sacrifice a good life for a good time.

Image
You don't have to be sick to get better.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude is most treasured when it is unexpected. When we expect, even demand gratitude, we treat it simply as payment due for some service we rendered and we squeeze any good feeling out of it.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude should be felt and experienced sincerely, expressed generously and received graciously.
Michael Josephson
Image
The key to success is effort. The bigger the goal, the greater the effort.
Michael Josephson
Image
Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Michael Josephson
Image
Go out there and do your part to change the world. You may not change all you had hoped but the world will be better for the caring demonstrated by your effort.
Michael Josephson
Image
Our expectation of the gratitude of others for what we've done for them is sometimes exaggerated because of our deep desire for appreciation and approval. When our good work or good deeds go unrewarded by hoped for praise, we feel like failures so we treat those who denied us our due as betrayers.
Michael Josephson
Image
The only force that can sustain true and consistent courage is some form of spiritual belief that values like honor, duty, loyalty and integrity above the status, power, money and even security.
Michael Josephson
Image
Never do anything for another with the expectation of gratitude. The expectation itself turns the gift into an exchange and suggests a debt is owed you.
Michael Josephson
Image
Character is the moral strength to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.
Michael Josephson
Image
Our character is revealed by how we treat people who cannot help us or hurt us.
Michael Josephson
Image
Lincoln described character is a tree and reputation as its shadow. The tree will always be what it is but the shadow we see depends on where we stand and the angle of the light.
Michael Josephson
Image
Neither heredity nor environment determine character. But whether we give in to or overcome the negative messages we are exposed to as we wend our way through life is often determined by whether our parents, teachers, mentors and friends exposed us to good examples and morally inspiring ideas.
