I hope everyone had a great weekend. This week consisted of the fun chores that one must do. Laundry, cleaning the apartment, daydreaming of where this life is headed. It wasn't all work, but there was a major disappointment.....two words....CHICAGO BEARS!
But, I digress and it's time to get onto the task at hand.
Helping women helps life to begin at 31? I know it may not be easy to understand that concept.
However, I think it's a metaphor for how we approach life.
I was raised as a youngster to treat women with complete respect. Holding doors open for women isn't really a new concept, but it does illustrate a simple kindness that we show and not specifically to women, but hopefully to all that we come into contact with on a daily basis.
This basic principle is something that I have always done, but as I am getting older it refines other areas that I would want to be better at. Truly listening to those that are in need; being able to really give all of myself rather than worry about what's on my agenda. It's definitely hard in this world of materialism and fast paced techonology, but it's something that is vital.
Ever got stuck on I, I, I? Well, I've done that all too much in life, and what I am learning is that if I extend myself to others, how much more do I receive in the long run. The answer is, MUCH MORE!
I encourage you to try it. Start simple. Revisit some principles that you were once taught, (i.e. holding the door open for women, walking an elderly lady across the street) and progress into other areas where you can refine kindness to the maxumum potential.
It will really translate into other areas in life that your struggling with.
Did that make sense? Hope so. This is what was on the mind of Mr. Volle!
Enjoy your Tuesday!
Good thoughts!!
