MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION: VOL 357

MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION: VOL 357

Happy Presidents Day. We were raised to say yes please and no thank you.  To show respect for our elders and to have good manners.  Somewhere along the way, many in society forgot these basic lessons.  Nowadays, we step in puddles deeper than some people’s souls. We need to get back to the basics and remember the way we were raised.  Let’s always remember that it’s more important to be beautiful on the inside than perfect on the outside.  Looks change but an amazing heart keeps beating long after our hair turns gray.  They say that looking back on life, we never regret the things we did.  We only regret the things we did not do.  In truth, we also regret the way we did things.  Did we play by the rules?  Did we treat others fairly?  The important thing we need to remember is to do things with class and dignity.  We see so much negative all the time in this world. We end up believing that that’s the way life is. There’s also so much good. The best things in the world are human acts of kindness. They warm our hearts and it’s those simple things that lead to the bigger things in life. Our parents raised us to show respect. We are raising our kids to show respect.   Let’s conduct business and go about our daily lives the way we were raised.  A man doesn’t hold open a door simply because she’s a lady.  A man opens a door because he’s a gentleman.  That’s the way we were raised and that’s the way we should always live our lives.  By taking the time to say After You and Thank you.  Let’s pay it forward. Kindness breeds kindness. Remember that it’s always about holding our heads up high and respect. Respect for ourselves and respect for others. It’s amazing what kindness and respect can do for ourselves and the world. Keep moving forward!!

You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you’re sad, love what you’ve got and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret, people change, things go wrong, just remember life goes on.
