No fight, respect

Disney, service, speaker
These two fought at the beginning. One of them insisted he was an official Space Ranger. The other applied their wisdom to the situation. It was a happy ending, in the end: mutual respect.

New Year.

New You.

Or is it same old, same old?

Creatures of habit.

What one person sees as dynamic tension between our different perspectives, another sees it as a disagreement that naturally leads to confrontational fighting.

i see an opportunity, an olive branch if you will.

Another sees hurtful conflict and a wall.

We see what we want to see.

We think what we want to think.

Our years of experience shape our thinking.

Growth-mindset is generally a former closed-minded person who got tired of the conflicts, walls, ‘fighting’.

Closed-mindset habitually only sees the negative, the personal, the confrontation.

Calm, level-headed conversation from a foundation of love, patience, and kindness is how the most mature communities demonstrate respect amongst the neighbors.

Reminder: What you do thunders so loudly i can’t hear what you say.

Feed your mind well

Motivation
Pinterest sends me an email couple times a week. This was from yesterday’s.

 

Feed your mind well. No one else will do this for you.

So obvious.

Or.

So oblivious.

Mid Life Crisis Choices?

Mid Life Crisis Choices?

Yes.  There are choices all day, every day.  Like yesterday, when I posted about the person making snide remarks.  My patience was quickly evaporating by the lack of what I would call “personal respect”.

There was a mid life crisis moment of choice – take the high road or take the low road.

So all I can hope to do is make good mid life crisis choices when I’m faced with the high road or the low road.  Always take the high road.  It’s uphill and more work. But the view is spectacular.
