Maybe someday, someone will quote me for inspiration. I love a good quotes!

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture, or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de –escalated, and a person humanized or dehumanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming. - Goethe

This quote is so true for everyday relationships, but really extra true for nursing:)

  1. Amen! It's so amazing to me how people are so much alike and yet so different. I believe the common denominator is emotions. Ever notice if you smile at a stranger, they usually smile back?
