Caring is giving love, attention, and kindness to the people, places, and things that matter to you.
"Caring for others is an expression of what it means to be fully human." – Hillary Clinton
Treat others, yourself, and our Earth with care. Take time to really look at people and listen closely to what they are saying. Handle your belongings gently and show kindness and compassion in your words and actions.
Say this:
"I care for others and myself. I pay attention to the needs of others. I show kindness in my words and actions. I give my best to every job I do."

Good Morning,
Courtesy is showing politeness, respect, and good manners. It uses the Getting Along key to help us be gracious in the way we speak and act towards others.
"Courtesy is a small act, but it packs a mighty wallop." – Lewis Carroll
Show others that you value and respect them. Think about how your words and actions affect those around you. Greet people with a smile, listen attentively, and make requests rather than demands.
Say this:
"I am courteous. I speak and act with politeness and respect. I show others that I value and appreciate them."

Trust is believing in someone or something. It is having the confidence that the right thing will happen, even when we cannot see the outcome.
"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Believe that there is good in everything that happens and look for the lesson, even in painful experiences. Let trust replace your worries and know that your best is always enough. When we trust ourselves and have faith in the journey, we can face challenges with greater peace and courage.
Say this:
"I have no need to control others. I release all fear and worry. I feel at peace and know that I am not alone."
Have a wonderful day and term.
