Examining Our Thoughts

I've had a philosophy I have lived by most of my life.

"Don't say anything behind someone's back that I wouldn't say to their face.... and if I'm thinking it but wouldn't say it there is something wrong with my thinking."

That's not to say you should be rude about what you have to say, there is always a nice way to say things... but it's more about a self check to examine your thoughts.

If someone looks like hell ask if they are ok. If someone is messing up at work ask if there is anything you can do to help them or what they need in order to do a better job. It's not always about doing their work but helping them discover what they can do to help themselves.

Things come up in life, in all of our lives where we feel overwhelmed and instead of judging others when they are down try to remember when you last felt that way and what would have made you feel better, try implementing that in your approach to them.

If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts about someone take a good hard look at what it is about them that bugs you so much.

I'd love to hear feedback about people in your life that have rubbed you the wrong way. Let's work together to examine what is at the root of your feelings and use that to empower you to keep moving forward and stop letting that negative energy slow you down.
