Daily affirmation

Jamie sent me this quote from her daily teacher calendar,

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being" - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I can see potential in men who cannot/choose not to see it in themselves. But how can I help them realize this? Is this a good thing? Or do I just want to believe I see more than what is really there? But I will encourage, help, and be a steadfast friend. I will do my part, trying to make those around me better. In turn I can learn from others and progress in many aspects of my life. These relationships will be a trade off.

I have realized that I am a sounding board for some, a life coach for others, and I will be in the cheering section ready to encourage.
I am grateful for the chance I have to help. I am most grateful for solid friends who are sounding board for me and help me realize all that I can be..
