Rabbi Alan Litwak

"I," "We," and "You"

How do we transition our mindset?  We change our language.  When we speak differently, we have a greater chance of committing to act differently.  This works in our interactions with colleagues, friends, customers, and spouses.  

When the accolades are coming in, instead of saying "I,” try "we."

When the poop hits the fan, instead of saying "we," try "I."

And, when you are tempted to lessen the impact of your actions, try looking at the person and admitting it affects "you."
