And by that I mean this: We all have probably had at least a time or two when we thought someone or two, were not respectful to us. But now ask yourself – honestly - Have you been respectful?
Often? Probably but the harder question is 'always'? And that is where most of us probably know that we may have not done as well on this as we would like to.
Which brings us to our time of decision. We know that when we've not been respected, it places a frustration on our shoulder. And yes, if we've been on the receiving end of this negative in the past, we also know it can happen again in our months or years still ahead. For the most part, those are beyond our control. But what we can control is how we treat others. Will it be respectful, despicable, apathetic or what? I hope you are like me in trying to pursue the respectful path in all situations as best can (it is a choice, and yes, we need to pursue it). So, thanks for thinking about this and pursuing it. Many won't and don't care but that is their choice. We on the honor journey want to do what's right. |
