Happy New Year,
It is a fact that imagination and the power of thought lift men’s souls to heavenly heights. — Diodorus Siculus (1st Century B.C.) Greek Historian
These two (Genuine & Innovative) would be a good set of qualities to aspire to for the entire year. Or pick one, two, or three others which resonate with you. We are reinventing ourselves every day. Having a set of high ideals will light the way.
Peace,
Jim

Comment: When, on the one hand, one seems genuine and honest, but on the other hand, has selfish motives, their true purpose cannot really be known until time clarifies it. However you may be able to see through their facade from the outset. If not, wait patiently, eventually the individual will show themself. Remember the old saying: “Actions speak louder than words.”
Sometimes people say they are motivated by a set of positive qualities and yet are taking steps and actions going against the very qualities they profess to hold in such high regard.
INNOVATIVE
Definition: able to change or alter yourself or the situation by introducing something new

Quote:
Discovery consists of seeing what everyone has seen, and thinking what no one has thought.
