Sometimes I am fortunate to see myself mirrored back to me in another person’s behavior. This is when I get the best opportunity to reevaluate how my actions could impact others.
Sometimes I am a bit much. I am loud, indignant, and somewhat abrasive. It does not matter what my intentions are. I want to be seen the way I feel.
I have a big heart. I care about people. Yes, I get annoyed easily, however I do not want to spread malcontent. I want people to be better after they come into contact with me.
So, I am going to see what happens when I smile and say hello to anyone who crosses my path. No more looking down or pretending to be busy on my phone in elevators. I am going to be engaging. Who never know who you are going to meet.
By the way, spreading good vibes is free. It will not cost me a thing.
I have been accused of being unapproachable. I have been told I look angry. Ha! I am not angry. Have no fear, I will let you know if I am. I am going to try to be more friendly. I feel friendly, so why not allow the happy vibes out into the world?
It is not my job to contemplate all the world’s problems every time I am alone and not otherwise entertained. I need to get out of my head and back into the real world. I have to remember this is an adventure. Life is good today.
