Remember, everyone you meet is really trying to do the best they can. No one woke up today and intentionally decided to be mean, difficult, or unreasonable - including you.

About This Quote

In our world, there are some people that we all know, and some that we only hear about. It doesn’t matter who you meet, they all have a story to tell. Everyone has a past. No one wakes up and takes a deliberate step to be mean or difficult.

All of us have a choice in how we react to situations and people in our lives. The good news is that everyone is trying their best every day. It is the nature of being human to do our best at all times.
