Our perception of the world has a significant impact on how we treat others. We always have a choice to love or hate, to support or judge, to respect or disregard. Creating a world in which we are proud to raise our children requires careful attention around how we treat others.
Some of our biggest tests will be when others treat us in unkind ways, when we are hated, judged, or disregarded. These trials are truly our biggest test. We are all susceptible to a negative emotional response, as this is what can naturally happen when we are hurt; however, apologies go a long way. These trials also can dictate a necessity to forgive. As we reflect on the circumstance, finding love, support and respect for others can be a key to forgiveness. These courageous acts can make a positive difference in our world.
Don't treat people as bad as they are, treat them as good as you are. Is there someone that deserves your forgiveness, or an apology? Today is the day. Let's be courageous and bridge relationships and connections in our community, which can positively influence our children. Together, we are our best!
