My thoughts this weekend focused on things I learned from my Dad. He taught me to see that people are basically good by nature. He said you will usually get what you expect from people so expect the best. Trust others first if you want to be trusted. Respect others until they give you a reason not to trust them. If you want help, help others. If you want to be loved, love yourself and love others.Does this sound familiar? Maybe you heard it this way: Treat others the way you want to be treated, or “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you”. Do you remember who gave us this “golden rule”? Yes, it was Jesus.
So here is a suggestion: try living this way and see what happens:
Smile first, say hello first, trust people, respect people, always say thank you, help people, be understanding and accepting of people, love life and love people.
I predict that all of the above will came back to you. Isn’t that a happy, positively uplifting thought?
Have a really wonderful week.
Peace,
Terry
