I have to remind myself frequently what the goals are and recommit to them every day. "Today I will be kind to my students." "Today I will smile at people when I see them in the hallway." "Today I will require my students to be self-aware." "Today I will require my students to be responsible citizens." It's tempting sometimes to give up and get washed away in chaos and negativity. Some days I feel like I'm surfing that wave, other days I feel like I'm getting wiped out by it.

Richard Carlson, PhD, wrote in his best selling book: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...."A more peaceful way to live is to decide consciously which battles are worth fighting and which are better left alone." There are always going to be people who disagree with you, people who do things differently, and things that don't work out. IF you fight against this principle of life, you'll spend most of your life fighting battles. If you don't want to "sweat the small stuff", then choose your battles wisely!

Zig Ziglar once said that "the choice to have a great attitude is something that nobody or no circumstance can take away from you." Along those same lines, Dale Carnegie wrote "it isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it."

In other words? Your attitude makes all the difference.
