Be Good To People. It's That Simple.

As a gift, two of my dearest friends gave me a shirt with this embroidered message: “Be good to people.” If that phrase were on a piece of your clothing, would you be less apt to throw attitude at those around you?

We’ve all been snappy with the diva at the deli counter, the postal employee with no sense of urgency or the opinionated co-worker preoccupied with personal drama and lunch menus. Drivers will continue to cut you off on the highway. Old ladies and gentlemen will forever squeeze to the front of the airport restroom line. Our daily encounters with frustrated individuals and their roller-coaster moods can be contagious, especially if our own level of wickedness is particularly heightened.  

Sometimes the temptation is too great. We become consumed in our own selfish little world, focused on our path to defend and conquer while teaching an important lesson to the individual stealing our parking space. The little jabs we throw in defense of our own vanity come with consequence and others often mirror our negative behavior.
