Take The High Road

A message from Sandy. The high road truly is the path less traveled. John Maxwell, states this in his book Winning with People. He says this because taking the high road requires thinking and acting in ways that are not that natural or common. However, those who practice the High Road Principle become instruments of grace to others and recipients of grace themselves.
People who embrace the high road make excellence their goal. That’s something that can be accomplished if we:
- Care more than others think is wise
- Risk more than others think is safe
- Dream more than others think is practical
- Expect more than others think is possible
- Work more than others think is necessary
When we conduct ourselves according to our highest standards, we are less likely to be defensive and take the low road when attacked by others. Because when you know you have done all that you can do, you can let criticism roll off your back like rain.
Choose to take the high road today, regardless of what others say.
