Relative Something

.

Give a moment of thought for someone who deserves it today and lend a smile that might make happiness spread.

Today, elect not to interpret the world knocking on your door as inherently hostile and specifically aimed at you.

Consider the possibility that it is not about us all the time. And sometimes when two people are chasing after the same ball, they bump shoulders.

I’d like to slough off all the accumulated hurts that I unconsciously clutch from the times I’ve been bumped and didn’t have the insight to look past and  accept as a part of the game, and in good spirit, carry on with eyes on a higher prize.

Life. Play on. It isn’t specifically all about you, and it can be fun.

this message brought to you by the ‘I’ve heard one too many people whine today’ committee in hopes of making each of us a little less important than we thought we were when we launched into our self indulgent tirade that really wasn’t meant to serve anyone but ourselves in the long run as we elect to lower others in hopes of making us feel better in lieu of the harder choice of overriding the fight or flight triggers to work on the mightier task of dragging us up by the bootstraps and rising to the occasion to seek better from ourselves first and then as quickly seeking the best from others, even when it is hiding in their own fight and flight turmoil.

…or something like that.
