not just for today--but for EVERYDAY!!!

 

When someone has put you on the spot, your first impulse is usually "give back as good as ya got," am I right? Hurt them just as they have hurt you! With the social media sites of Facebook, Google Chrome, Twitter, et al, it is so easy now for someone to post anything and everything that can rub us the wrong way. When you feel slighted, what do you do? get even? No! If you feel you have been tread on, do this instead:

Change your inner environment. Be sensitive to the feelings of others. When you are feeling put upon, what can you do is to lighten the burden of someone else, perhaps even the person who is impinging upon you! Be what you want the other person to be. You, yourself, give what you crave.

Your chances of changing another person are slim. Changing another is harder than changing yourself. How you change yourself is how you look at things. Let a little light in. Pull up the blinds of your own heart. If others, or one other, is inconsiderate of your feelings-- Then you be more considerate of their feelings.

When others are rude to you, then you are courteous to them. When others are inconsiderate of you, then you are very considerate to them. Consider this a game you play in life, and this is how you play it. The rule to follow is: to give better than you receive. And when you receive nothing from others, then you give them the favor you would like from them.

This game is called: Not Tit for Tat. It is called: No Limits. It is called: Giving Love Even When You Don't Receive it. It is called: Being a Good Sport. It is called: Setting an Example. It is called: Rising a Notch. It is called: Growing Up. It is also called The Golden Rule. This is the rule of thumb you are to go by. Go by it now. Even if you have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, do it!!

Beloveds, there is no other rule to follow. Kill or be killed is not your motto. Lash out first is not your motto. Defend is not your motto. Offend is the antithesis of your model. Hurt before someone else does is not your motto. Have the final word is not your motto.....from this day forth...LOVE is the only motto you need to know.
