Speed bump

I'm just wondering - Do you take as much care of your family and friends as you do going over a speed bump in your car?

Have you ever been behind someone going ever so slowly over a speed bump? So slow that you come to a complete stop. I have, this car crawled one tire at a time. One tire in slow motion gently rolled over the hill. That's how slow it seemed, first the front tires and finally the back tires.
I chuckled to myself and thought, if the driver of this car took as precious care of his/her family and friends, life might be different.
Let's say care was taken when speaking to others. Thought went before action. Kindness was the first order of the day. Respect, respect goes hand in hand with unselfishness. If someone is selfish it is hard to be genuine with respect and care to others.

Lets play.
I call observing what I do and how I do it play. Observe when interacting with others if you are taking care going over the speed bump or speeding through. And when going over a speed bump if all communication has been respectful and kind.

A sudden jolt out of your seat will reset your attention.

For one day only

Make eye contact to everyone you speak with for one whole day. Upon reflection is this easy or difficult???

Just for today

Just for today,

Just for today say thank you or have a good day as you make direct eye contact with the person you are with.

Just for today make eye contact with the one you are speaking with as much as you can.

Just for today try this. It has as a powerful affect on the other person.  However, it has a greater affect on you. What a beautiful gift to yourself. All this goodness comes forth from within you to reach out to others.

Just for today try this and when tomorrow becomes today, begin again. What a simple way to begin giving.
