Happy Fall Everyone!
This week’s article is all about helping you look at the bright side. And, you will find 2 positive quotes to get you started.
I decided to take a short break from messages about resolving conflict. There can be so much to celebrate in our life. Even though drama seeps into our day. 🙂
People ask me why I smile so much. Full disclosure here! My smile lines are huge. Believe me, I don’t show a happy face 24/7. Yes, Joyce Weiss, the upbeat person is a human being.
I choose to be optimistic. It’s in my DNA. And, I’m lucky to have had parents who were such great role models in this area. They didn’t have it easy like so many of your parents. They did their best to look for opportunities when “life got in our way.”
There is so much negativity surrounding us. It’s hard at times to disconnect our brains from the bad stuff. It’s a challenge to look for opportunities when we are so gloomy.
This pandemic was tough for all of us. Obviously, many of us experienced horrific loss and sickness. I was fortunate to join groups like the video rock starz and The World of Business and Executive Coaching Summit (WBECS). This is where I learned so many new techniques about coaching and online courses. There was literally no time for me to stay stuck. I don’t take this for granted.
This is one of my favorite positive quotes. And, it shows up in my life quite often. Optimism sure helps when we try new things. And, they don’t work out as well as we wanted. Sound familiar?
I prepared for a master class and invited clients and prospects to my new online course. The master class was a hit UNTIL – I started aggressively selling. And, it was not the real me. I took courses on how to create a successful master class. And, followed every detail from my instructor since she was the expert.
The moral of this story is that we need to be true to ourselves. The strong selling portion was just not me. People did sign up. That’s not the point! I felt like another person was doing that portion of the master class.
The good news is that we learn when we fall. This wasn’t a huge mistake. BUT, it was enough for me to know that I need to rethink the next master class. Believe me when I say that I learned – no more selling on steroids!

I thought that this motivational quote is a perfect one to share with you as we start our new year. Think of all the acts of kindness that you showed this past year – giving to your favorite charity, helping the homeless, volunteering or so many other ways.
I was spending some quality time with my grandson, Justin at our favorite restaurant. We were talking about altruism. Not a bad discussion to have with a 20-year-old! 🙂 Our waiter, Dylan was outstanding and we joked with him while he made the dining experience very special. I decided to call over his manager to express our gratitude for Dylan’s professionalism. I asked Dylan to join us because I wanted him to know what I was about to say to his manager.
Dylan’s eyes beamed with appreciation and his manager kept on thanking us for recognizing his star employee. Justin said, “Joycee
(that’s what my 3 grandkids call me) you just showed an altruistic act.”
I didn’t even realize that when I was giving Dylan’s manager the positive feedback. This small act of kindness was for one reason and one reason only, to make sure that Dylan’s manager knew how much we appreciated the entire meal, especially the service.
Think about small acts of kindness that you showed this year, it feels great plus someone else benefits besides us.
Please let me know how you show acts of kindness. Let’s spread this feeling to others because there is so much negativity and hate and these little things make a huge difference for others.
I always say that I change the world, one person at a time when I coach emerging leaders, individuals or small groups to kick conflict to the curb to get the respect that they deserve. It doesn’t take much these days to show appreciation for someone else.
I thank all of my loyal readers for your comments, interest, and questions all of these years. I appreciate you – big time!
Let’s toast each other at midnight. 🙂

The moment I saw this quote, is the moment that I knew I had to share it with you. Humor is all around us even during tough times. I’ll never forget a professor in my death and dying course when I attained my Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling. He told us that we need humor especially when life gets in the way. I thought he was off base at the time. I now know the importance of his statement once I’ve experienced loss in my life.
I had a very warm and sweet father with a huge smile. The only time he got mad at me was when I dyed my hair when I was 12 and it accidentally turned orange. He pounded his hands on the ping pong table in my home in Oak Park MI and said, “Joyce, Why? Why?” My mother and sister heard his loud words coming through the walls upstairs. I told this story during his eulogy because I wanted to share this memory with our family and friends. This story brought smiles to everyone listening. That was the plan! 🙂
‘We honored the memory of Joseph Morris that day. I even wore red. Who wears red to a funeral? This was my father’s favorite color.
What about you? When have you used humor during a tough moment in your life? How has humor helped you? What humorous quotes do you use to get you through difficult times?
