Teach, LOVE, Inspire
Cool Cats Update
Week of September 25
Monday Motivation
Extending kindness to everyone you meet this week is an act you will
never regret. Let’s use our actions and words to build each other up.
Our words have power. They have the power to stick to the receiver
forever. Dale Carnegie says, “The power to increase the sum total of the
world’s happiness is by giving a few words of sincere appreciation to
someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow
the kinds words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a
lifetime.” There are no regrets when you uplift and inspire another
person.
