Doing the right thing

I went to a business once and had an appointment that I had confirmed the day before. I waited 30 minutes for the person to show up and I didn’t hear anything from them. So I left and requested the owner of the business to contact me.

It was a week later that I got a card in the mail saying the owner tried to call me, and had a $100 gift certificate. I didn’t go back to the business. If they waste peoples time, then giving them a second chance isn’t going to help me.

Doing the right thing means communicating with your client before there is a problem, and letting them know that you are doing your best to solve it. Not in ignoring the problem, and then trying to patch it up later.

Focusing is difficult

In life, you are given lots of important things to do, but rarely are they essential.

It is important to take care of your legal, ethical, moral obligations. What is essential is that you grow in life. I think thats the definition of it isn’t it? I often feel challenged by the amount of growth that life asks of me sometimes. It feels overwhelming at times and sometimes it is.

I have found that if I can focus on the most crucial thing that is affecting my happiness, it tends to improve. Not always in the way that imagine, but often in ways better than I can imagine.

So stay focused on life enhancing things, and life will continue to improve.
