What Happened To Kindness
While on a bus today, a young man, maybe 19, wanted to get on, but either had no money or his card wasn’t working.
I have a son about his age and I’ve been without cash at times, so I could feel his frustration. So I walked to the front of the bus to pay for him; pay it forward. The driver said we were not travelling together so I couldn’t pay for him.
I thought it was a very strange rule. The young man thanked me for the attempt and got off the bus.
What a bizarre idea that I couldn’t help a young man in a challenging moment. What happened to kindness?!

Perspective
Make sure the perspective of the people around you, or that you listen to, is aligned with the outcome that is most beneficial for you.
If someone is highlighting the negative, go speak to someone who highlights the positive. Otherwise, you may find yourself focusing on the negative and missing the beauty of all the positive.
Some people can find the positive in even the worst of circumstances. Others can only see the negative, even when surrounded by beauty and love.
In a rose garden, some only see roses while others make you aware of the thorns.
Which do you focus on more? Why? Would you like to be more positive? Training your brain daily is critical to making meaningful progress.

Be Wise About Where You Get Your Advice
If a friend gives you advice, should you take it? That depends on quite a few factors. Do they have your best interests at heart? Will they have to live with the consequences as well as you? Do you want the outcome they are most familiar with? These are just some of the questions you need to consider.
Also consider what might feel good or easy in the moment versus what is right, moral or better in the long run.
When receiving advice, be aware of second and third order consequences as well. Also consider if the outcome they would want for you truly aligns with what you would want for you.

Death, taxes, and things change; those are the certainties of life.
Sometimes changes seem good for you and sometimes the changes seem bad. However, often changes will turn out well, given enough time.
Things change, be resilient and keep your mind open to all new possibilities so you can make the best of the new situation.

Let It Go
You don’t need to play tug of war all the time. You can let the rope go.
That constant pulling will tire you out mentally and physically. Just let it go.
It is the same with every argument, issue and unsettled thought. Let it go.
You can always come back to it if you really need to.
