I recently watched the movie “The Help” based on the bestselling book. It’s a great read and a great movie with a lot of important lessons to be learned. Here was an excerpt that particularly struck me:

“Ugly live upon the inside. Ugly be a hurtful mean person…Every morning, until you dead in the ground, you gone have to make this decision…You gone have to ask yourself, Am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?’…With Constantine’s thumb pressed in my hand, I realized I actually had a choice in what I could believe.”
― Kathryn Stockett, The Help
