It is beyond me, with every day trickling by, that there seems to be an undercurrent of information that anyone can grasp onto. It is subtle, and a person really needs to put their head to the ground, listen to other people (rather than having their minds wrapped up into their own day to day trifles), and look at what they wish to have, accomplish, and/or be in life. I am not talking about a "growing up," that people need to do. That is something that everyone does, whether they think about it, or not.
However, I am talking about why more people are not stepping out of the line, making an effort to circumvent the bovine path before them, or in plain terms stop with the overall mundane lives they are living. In turn, actually start thinking about each moment that is going by, like the drip, drip, drip of water, going down the drain. Each drip, being another second, minute, hour, of time that could be used to make a person's life better, their kid's life better, and even the check stand girl's life better, when she is handing your change back to you in line at the store. The preverbal "wool has been pulled over to many people's eyes." To many people are just going thru the motions, and not making this world a better place, thru a little bit of effort. Simply, just looking at each minute as a gift, not only for you, but also for you to except the responsibility for others.
I am not talking about going out and picketing, quitting a job, or getting drastic on the people of the world. I AM talking about noticing that every single person that you deal with in life, on the phone, or even on the Net is a person that you could make a difference with. A simple "thank you," "I am sorry," or the act of "let me get that for you ma'am," is enough to change another person's day for the better. I am not a complete idealist. However, I do believe that if every single person, would just take the time to realize that every second is a chance to make things better, right a wrong, or even just a blessed opportunity to make another's day better. However, it is so much easier to make "YOU" the center of your life, and not acknowledge the "OTHERS" around you, as people, but most of all as "EQUALS." Equals whom need a pick me up, like you do. Equals that feel, love, hurt, and sometimes just a simple sentence (like, "I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me, have a nice day,"), could change someone's day just enough. Just enough for them, but also just enough that maybe they could pass the same thing forward, changing another's life. Think about it. Are you the only person that matter's? What can you do? Does every second, minute, and word out of your mouth count?
No excuses, let's just treat every single person that we meet, day in and day out, as if it will be the very last time that we will ever see them again. Simply, you do not know how much you can/could effect every single person that you meet, for the better, or worse. It is your choice.
