Stay Golden

We've heard different phrases and sayings about gold such as "the golden rule," "the gold standard,"  or a generous person who may be described as someone with a "heart of gold."

Gold is an element that's associated with wealth and good fortune and has been used to make coins, art, and jewelry over time.

Gold is unique, rare, and valuable. It's considered to be a noble metal, which means that it doesn't rust or decay. Noble also means good, honorable, and worthy.

Gold and some of its qualities and values can be related to individuals.

How well can we hold onto our value despite outside pressure or when our surroundings are not ideal?

When miners search for gold, they use tunnels and dig through dirt, rock, and sediment. 

Despite being surrounded by dirt, pressure, and darkness, gold maintains its properties, value, shines and stands out from everything that's around it. 

Like gold, you can stand out and shine by treating others the way you want to be treated, even when you're not receiving kindness in return. 

Try not to match behavior in negative situations. Think carefully before reacting and responding. If someone presents a problem, share a solution. When others complain, say something that's positive.
