As i rushed into a notoriously slow elevator in hopes of riding alone, I found myself hitting the "up" button not once, but 6 times. Why? Because i was late and i was on a mission... Or so i thought. I was rushing to a meeting that kind of treats me like im in AA but is a very simple "personal growth" group. All i wanted was to get to where i needed to be and avoid people at all costs. Isnt that horrible? How could i not want to speak to people and be on my way to go to a personal growth meeting. (I know i felt bad when i thought about all of it...) I was so focused on that slow elevator, that when a girl smiled at me, i didnt even notice till i walked away. How crazy is that? I shouldnt have been so far in my own world that i couldnt see the smile.
My thought for today is this: Stop pressing so hard.
Meaning, dont press the button 6 times. The elevator will still come at the same speed... what ever youre expecting will be there in time. But instead of micro managing, lets try and doing something nice for someone else. Even a smile is something.
Discovering my dream,
Amk
