Is it about YOU or THEM?
When life is at its VERY BEST, I am focused on others - outside of ME! Several things have brought this to light lately, some things that made me go hmmmmm:
So many things come to mind, to include a dynamic that really amazes me about PEOPLE. Have you ever walked just next to someone, right by them, passing them and said HELLO and they just totally did not respond? Now stranger or not, when someone says HELLO, how could you not respond?
WhatsUpWithThatAnyway? BTW, if I ever do that to you, plz grab me and shake me, I am getting ready to walk into traffic unknowingly!
...The absolute worst times in my life have been when I was focused inwardly; my issues and concerns. My self worth seems best when I am/can be focused on OTHERS struggles...
...How abou the customer service rep, waiter/waitress sharing his/her excuses/woes vs taking care of the customer?
....Are we not soooooo much better at judging others than ourselves!?! Does this fit here?
...Heard a radio show about some of the latest thinking on kids receiving constant praising and how it can actually be a very damaging thing. Teaches that everything is about ME, I, ...THEM!
...All this must tie into this whole VICTIMIZATION society we now live within, huh?
...Reminds me of my days as a military commander and how it was a principle when we were eating a meal out in the field - the soldiers ate first.
....When the elevator opens do we rush in or wait for others to come out? When we are in a discussion or argument, do we listen first?
...If you are a leader having to make a decision, do you see what THEY think first?
I am guessing before long, we will see people walking around and without being asked anything, they will just be saying I AM FINE. ME ME ME...
I am still working on that whole ignoring someone when they have just said HELLO?!!? Maybe it is just me, but do you have to know someone to return a greeting or even initiate it?
People are amazing, you gotta love US,...oops, I mean THEM! Gods best this day my friend and HELLO!?????????????????????

Knowledge vs Wisdom
...Knowledge is the accumulation of facts -
Wisdom is the proper use of those facts....

Law of the Garbage Truck
LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK ...
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that?
This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call,
'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so ... Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a garbage-free day!

It is beginning to look a lot like
I was just remembering back just after Christmas, and how awesome it would be if we could keep the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT all year long. The same could be said for the spirit of folks at Easter time.
There is so much GOODness, PEACEfulness, LOVing, GIVEing, KINDness, SMILES, FOCUS on the RIGHT STUFF...in people's hearts at these times.
For all of us, our challenge is to keep a heart of CHRISTMAS & EASTER all the time maybe? Even on Mondays huh?
Sooooooo go HELP someone, GIVE someone something, FORGIVE them, ACCEPT 'em the way they are, ...that would be a great start! Especially for a Monday huh?
It does not mean that plenty of people, us and others are not hurting in various ways for sure. Whether it is our own hurts/pains or those of others, the right kind of spirit and mindset can be of help.
I am re-sharing something I read the other day down below...
My God's best to you and yours as we head toward Christmas-time!
