Wednesday Wisdom

Happy Hump Day! I hope this post finds you well. I know I've been slacking in posting stuff lately, but I wanted to make sure I posted another Wednesday Wisdom for you all! Here are a few quotes from my two best girlfriends and me!

1. Quote of the Week:

"We tend to judge other by their behavior, and ourselves by our intentions."

-Stephen M.R. Covey

This quote holds a special place in my heart. I think as humans we constantly judge each other by the way in which we behave rather than their intentions. A common theory in Social Psychology is the "Fundamental Attribution Error," in which people overestimate the effect of dispositional factors and underestimate situational factors. I admit, I am constantly attributing a persons behavior to his or her actual personality, while at the same time knowing I behaved a certain way with certain intentions. It is extremely difficult to do, but I try my hardest to understand why a person did something and where he or she is coming from. I hate being judged wrongly, let alone at all, and I am positive you do too. So what do you say? Let's all just try to be a little less judgmental and a little more understanding!

2. Jessica Ciesielski's Favorite Quote:

 "I realized this week that I just cannot do it all. So I will choose to do what I can fabulously."

-Clinton Kelly

"This quote really means a lot to me because I can apply it to my every day life. I tend to get overwhelmed trying to balance school work, my social life, and getting enough sleep. Clinton Kelly reminds me that it’s okay to not always be able to take on everything at once; it is simply important to put forth your best and most fabulous work into what you’re able to do. It’s vital to be able to step back and look at what you’ve accomplished and be proud of it." (Jessica Ciesielski)

3. Marcella Pappas's Favorite Quote:

"And there are stories where it’s hard to be sure who’s a prince and who’s a monster, who is a victim and who should live happily ever after" 

-Ilsa J. Bick

"This is my favorite quote because in life, not everything is black and white - good things happen to bad people and vice versa. We are not always able to see through people, we do not know what goes on behind closed doors, and we do not always know who it is that we are judging." (Marcella Pappas)

As always, you are more than welcome to share any of your favorite quotes via email! I hope you have a wonderful Wisdom Wednesday! T-minus two days until the weekend!
