I don't let the mean rude customers get to me.
Why?
Let me tell a story. I was working my first job. This guy came up to the register, very angry and rude. I was shocked. What did I do to deserve this?
He stormed out of the store. Immediately after, a woman came in, came directly up to me and apologized on his behalf. She said "I'm so sorry. That's my son. We just lost a family member."
That has always stuck with me. Usually, I am having a very brief interaction with the customers I serve. I don't know what is going on with them. I don't know what they are going through.
Is it fair for me to be treated that way? Absolutely not. But I choose to not judge because I don't know what kind of day they're having.
And that is how I will go through life being successful. Choosing kindness and compassion as much as I can.

Glad to see someone saying this. This is what I was thinking when I saw some people being super judgmental over it.
Love this.
And sometimes we have to really look for it.
It can be so easy to get caught up in the negativity.
For instance: I did have a pretty good day today, but on the way home from my parent's house, I got very overwhelmed and almost had a meltdown.
It was very stressful. But I found beauty in the fact my husband was able to support me by handing me his sunglasses, and suggesting I maybe put my earplugs in and put the seat down. His support made a world of difference.

Really think it is important to keep in mind that for people who are new here, it can be easy to get swept up in the worries of being labeled as spam
I do think it is equally important to try and just focus on building connections and not so much on being so concerned about being labeled as spam
But I think having some compassion for those concerned can go a long way, not to say that plenty of people aren't doing that
Thankful that they've put out more solid guidelines for it 💜

I texted my friend this morning saying, "I hope you have a great week!"
I then had the thought "Actually, let's MAKE it a great week!"
We can't always control the circumstances life throws at us. I get it. Believe me I do.
But we can slowly work on how we react to those circumstances and do the best we can with them.
So I don't hope to have a great week. I'm gonna MAKE it a great week!
Who's with me?

I set a new goal: "Read at least a chapter every day from the book I'm reading "! Support me on my journey!

ITAP of the sky on my daily walk this morning just before the sun came up 💜
Didn't line up trains, but did have a mountain of stuffed animals that each had their own designated spot on my bed, and couldn't go to sleep until I made sure they were all properly in said designated spot
I'm the youngest of 5 kids. My mom babied me a lot when I was growing up. DRIVING? Oh no, out of the question.
I had to ask them to drive me anywhere. Mom didn't mind so much, my dad was a different story.
So I decided I was gonna learn to drive. A couple of family members helped, but we didn't get far. I put it to the side for the time being.
Then I moved out. Having to taxi everywhere was getting costly. So I decided to take driving lessons. There was a lot of yelling and frustration involved. I failed the driving test twice.
The one thing that helped me keep going was my grandmother. She passed away and always wished I had my license. I had always lamented to her about how upsetting it was not being able to do much.
So with her memory in mind, I kept practicing, took the driving test for a third time and at long last, was rewarded with my license.
There were times I honestly never thought it would happen, but I preserved, pushed through the struggles, and set out what I aimed to do.

Exactly this. Everyone was a beginner at some point and even for those more advanced than you, they are also always learning too.
I know my best friends want to see me succeed, my husband, this group, and many others.
There is always someone who wants to see you succeed 💜

Fun story:
8 year old me got so scared from a story that my siblings told me that I somehow managed to leave my body.
Saw myself sleeping and there was a protective bubble around me.
After that, I felt like I was being watched for 7 years straight and I'm still not sure what it was.
Have always been sensitive to feeling things ever since.

Hopefully one full of authentic ideas and experiences
I sometimes wish my new cat could have met our other cat that passed away. Decided to generate some images and my goodness I love this 💜
Where I cast from 💜
My first job was Dollar General. I was a cashier. One day this guy came in and was super rude to me. He checked out and stormed out of the store.
A woman came in right after him, came up to me, and immediately apologized on his behalf. She informed me that they had just lost a family member.
That interaction changed my whole outlook. Especially when I'm at work. I am interacting with these people for a brief period of time. I don't know what they are going through.
If they act rude or obnoxious to me, I don't take it personally. I just wish them well and hope that their day gets better.

Just had my first farhouse experience with @thecurioushermit and it was amazing.
I wasn't sure what to expect and thought it was gonna be all of us just listening to what the host has to say.
I love that it's got a chat room style to it so that you can have direct interaction (after the host let's you speak) v just listening to what the speaker is saying, definitely provides a lot of opportunities to engage in direct conversation and make it more dynamic!

This is really something to be proud of
I will always be grateful for the past versions of me, for they have helped me grow into the person I am today ❤
