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?!
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.

Which do you focus on more? Why? Would you like to be more positive? Training your brain daily is critical to making meaningful progress.
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.

If you don’t, put more positive effort in and see what happens.
