Everything

April 5, 2022

Everything. No one owes anyone anything. not your parents, not your spouse, not your children, not your friends, and for sure, not strangers. Everything that someone does for you is a gift. You do what you do for someone else to make their life more pleasant or easier in some way. You do not do what you do in order to have someone love you. Love is a gift. So, when you do something out of love it is also a gift. When you are the giver, you can decide what to give. You cannot and should not tell people what to give to you or what to do for you. You are in charge of you, or at least you are responsible for how you respond to your surroundings. You have no say as to how another person responds to his surroundings. In the workplace it is a different animal. In the workplace people are paid to do what other people tell them to do. You might love your job, but would you be doing it if you were not getting paid? If you would do your job without financial reward, then your job is a gift that utilizes your abilities and allows you to use your God given talents. Otherwise, money is the motivation for being employed. Even if you do not love your job, if you are good at it and are valued at work, income will put food in your belly. To be happy you have to get all of your ducks in a row. Make your world a better place and the world will be a better place for you to live in. The thing to remember is, even if people do not act the way you think they should, it is not your call to worry about what they are doing. Be the person you want you to be. That should be your only concern. Be nice, appreciate others and be grateful for everything in your life. Why? Because everything is a gift. Be all that you can be, and you will be happy. Let you be a gift to other people. It is a good way to live.
