What’s Your Reserve?

Kindness. Good feeling toward others.  Generosity of spirit. Your “big” self  has plenty in reserve.

Enough, not only for ourselves…but also enough to accommodate  the person who cuts us off in traffic.  The person who speaks unkindly.  The person who is having a rotten day…and takes it out on us.

How much kindness will you have?  Is your reserve stretched thin?  Just enough to get you by?  Or is your spirit overflowing?

Here’s what most people don’t get:  You get to decide the answer to this question.

But there is a catch:  you have to decide in advance.  Don’t wait until you are in a situation to start thinking about the best way to handle it.

The pressure will most likely cause you to do the wrong thing…to be run by the “small” self.   Decide now.
