"Be polite and professional, but stand up for yourself when necessary - default to courtesy while avoiding passivity that enables disrespect. Take the high road, yet address harmful behavior directly and politely, saying 'please don't speak to me that way' or 'those remarks were hurtful and unjustified.' Assume good intent initially, but be firm and fair in establishing your boundaries. Give others the opportunity to recognize and adjust their conduct, promoting mutual respect."

“I think you were born for this time and place. You can call it fate or Divine Providence, but you were born for this.
Sometimes I think our lives were predestined to go down a certain path.
Oh, we can choose the good or the bad along the way, but ultimately, perhaps we are predestined for things beyond our control. It is not acurse, but a gift, to be embraced and used in the right way.” - Dan "Doc" Thomas, The Rushing Tide
