Just curious, how do you treat people on a daily basis? You can think about it for a second.
What’s the norm for you? Are you kinder to those who can do something for you? Do you tend to brush aside those who can’t?
Whether you like it or not, your answer is really an indication of what our world is becoming… It’s either becoming a world in which more of us are choosing to put forth goodness whenever we have the opportunity, or more of us are only choosing to act based on what someone else can do for us in whatever the situation may be.
Unfortunately, most of us have become self-involved (and it’s not the majority of our generation like most reports suggest). We are always looking out for our own interests. I want to believe in the good that still exists in the world and not in the narcissism that tends to appear, but that can be challenging. It’s sad what our world is becoming. A world that has become focused on “self” instead of “others.” A world in which if you can’t do something for me, then please leave me alone.
How did so many of us become this way?
Yeah, we can blame how we were raised, the people around us, our changing societal issues; etc. etc. Or we can take the higher path and really own up to our actions.
Look, many of us say we want a better world, but what are each of us doing to actually make it better? How are we treating the people around us on a daily basis? Are we loving, kind, sincere, helpful? Based on each of our actions alone, we’re creating the world that we’re evidently getting. Watch the news for yourself.
Really, we should live in a way where we treat people the way that we want to be treated. By doing so, we can change what’s happening and we can change ourselves in the process. Just think how different the world would be if each of us decided to treat other the way that we would like to be treated… the way we wanted people to treat our families… our friends… the people who we care about in general.
We act like taking this approach is so hard or so impossible to do. Yet, when we find someone treating us how we don’t want to be treated, then it hits us. Interesting.
So let this hit you: Treat people the way you would want to be treated. What goes around, only comes back around. If someone asks you for help, help them. If someone needs advice, be a shoulder for them to lean on. Don’t ignore people or treat them unkind. Treat them how you would want to be treated. Every one of your actions is helping to create the world that we live in now and in the future. And whether you want to believe me or not, you and I both know this to be true.
I can ramble on and on about this topic. But all I want to make clear is this: As you go about your life, treat people the way you would want to be treated. Don’t think that your actions don’t matter or won’t affect anybody. Realize they do and change them. By doing so, you’ll change the world in the process.
