Stop Being Crummy Human Beings

This is not a fitness-related post. Rather, this is a PSA for myself (& hopefully others): This morning I woke up in a terrible mood. I was tired, run-down & depressed. As I got into my car and began driving to work, I felt myself getting irrationally angry at the drivers around me. How dare they drive so slowly! How dare they take a millisecond too long to start driving again when the red light turned green! Sensing this awful mood of mine, I stopped at a Starbucks and ordered an iced coffee. While I sat in the drive-thru, a stroke of brilliance came over me: I'm going to pay for the two people behind me! After paying for their orders and my coffee, I wrote two notes for the both of them then handed the notes to the Starbucks cashier & asked her to give the notes to them when they came to the window. The notes read, "The greatest joy you'll ever know is giving - not receiving." And wouldn't you know, this awful morning suddenly became THE BEST MORNING EVER. Pay it forward today, & every day. Give selflessly. Help others. Be a darn good human being. Life isn't all about you - life is about loving the people around you & goodness gracious, if we could all learn to do that!... Our world would be a safer and happier place.
