Ladies and Gentleman, those are earned titles. Recently you may have noticed that the world changed. Along with that change came stress, fear, terror, anxiety. The purveyors of this fear are relentless, it’s their job to spread terror and fear. They want to get clicks and eyeballs and create a sense of ambient anxiety.
Tell the Truth
It’s difficult to tell what’s even real anymore. The lies and the deceptions go deep. Some of the deceptions are deliberate others through omission and some of them are errors.
Regardless it’s hard to tell up from down, and left from right. In this sort of his situation, to keep your humanity, I suggest one simple act. That is to adopt an extreme method of treating all well. Not because they deserve to be treated well, they may have acted like a jerk, but more often than not most people likely do deserve to be treated well.
Courteousness, the Earmark of Ladies and Gentlemen
The reason you treat others well is not that they deserve it, or they likely deserve it. It’s because it is who you are. When we go out of our way to use pleasantness and courteousness, we knock the hard edges off of the world and I can’t think of a time more than now, in our lifetimes right now that we need to do just that.
Engage in extreme courteousness, pleasantness, go out of our way to be that person and that’s what I am suggesting to you.
Your action item is to go out of your way to be the most pleasant person in the room and ultimately in doing so keep your humanity.
