Why does a person live where they live? Why do they join the organization they join? A person's sense of well-being is defined by their values!! Security, Choice, and their Quality of Life perception creates the environment where you find civility.  

Upholding another person's values is the process to attract people to your community, business, organization, and family.

What are your habits? Do they promote civility?  

Habits are like a warm bed, easy to get into, hard to get out of.  The words that you habitually use create an environment that either invites people in or repels them to stay out. Your community and organization create your environment by the words that you say, the thoughts you have, and the actions you take. 

If you are not growing by your habits, you are dying by your habits.
