STRONG
philosophy: 1 c. courage, 2 thsp. love, 1/2 c. respect, 100% self
"It takes more strength to relate to others than to challenge them more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, and more intelligence know and accept when you are are wrong. Each and every one of us was born with an abundance of qualities and potential, but without courage, will, and understanding, we cannot practice any virtue with consistency. You are stronger than you may believe yourself to be, and smarter than you may think. For life's challenges are not created to paralyze you, they are gifts to help you in your self discovery." - Duane McLaughlin

HAPPY
philosophy: 1 c. love, 2 thsp. appreciation, 1/2 c. desire, 100% self.
"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've made a commitment to look beyond the imperfections. Many of us punish ourselves between regret for the past and fear of the future. If we can cherish the joys and resolve the regrets, we will become more clear about who we really are, and better able to accept the joy in our lives."- Duane McLaughlin
HUMBLE
philosophy: 1 c. kindness, 2 thsp. understanding, 1/2 c. sensitivity, 100% self.
"Be humble. Be grateful. Be thankful for all that has been done. Never consider yourself defeated or unable. Remind yourself as often as necessary that you are protected, and you will succeed. Give thanks for your limitations, and with a humble heart, utilize the lessons you've learned to gather enduring strength." - Duane McLaughlin
PEACE
philosophy: 1 c. care, 2 thsp. morality, 1/2 c. cooperation, 100% self.
"Though we cannot make ourselves feel something we do not, we can make ourselves do what is right in spite of our feelings. Inner peace will come when working with joy and living with hope. When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."- Duane McLaughlin
FAITH
philosophy: 1 c. confidence, 2 tsp. belief, 1/2 c. trust, 100% self.
"All too often, we block our dreams when we allow fear to grow bigger than our faith. In order to keep our dreams alive, we must keep belief in ourselves, our visions, hard work, determination and dedications. Faith makes all things possible."- Duane McLaughlin
