Reflection

“The flies seek filth, the bees seek honey. I will shun the habit of the flies and follow that of the bees. I will refrain from finding faults in others and only look for the good which is in them.” –Hindu vow

Prayer

Word of life,

Our workspaces become toxic when words are used to attack and point out the weaknesses of others. Lead us to shun such habits and to speak words instead that are sweet to the ear and that uplift the soul. Inspire us always to look for the good in others so that we might call out that goodness in clear, strong voices. Yes, wherever we serve, let people know that a spirit of harmony prevails over those voices that seek to divide and put down. Amen.

Call to Action

Be careful today of the way I speak. Look for the good in others and let goodness prompt all my speech today.
