I was writing another post and ended up clicking back into a few other links on my blog and reading a couple articles where I was pretty down. I just wanted to write this one on here, so that my future self can find it someday and smile.
Life is so great right now, I’m enjoying living at the sister’s house complex so much. Things with Ellen and I are excellent, we are really in the groove. My immediate relatives are all doing really well, and almost all of my close friends are doing great too! Beyond my actual circle of control there are some kinda crazy and potentially worrying developments, but I’m a huge believer in keeping my thoughts within my own circle of control.
I am not a politician, I am not someone who enjoys fighting for all kinds of causes. I’m a someone who enjoys being a good person to everyone I encounter. Controlling what I can actually control. I feel this ends up making a much bigger difference actually improving other peoples lives as well, so it’s a win win.
I personally feel happier and more relaxed, and I’m actually doing more to improve other peoples lives than the people who read every news article and social media post and write screaming posts of their own online, or scream and shout at strangers about their ideas. People are all different, but you can be nice to every person you see. Only on the very rare occasion would you ever have to be mean to someone else, and thats only if they are threatening your life, the life of someone you love, or the life of another person you have determined is just an innocent bystander. In those extremely rare cases it’s fine to be mean and violent with another person. But those are about the only circumstances I can think of where that is ok.
Every other time, be nice to people. Help them out. Tip waiters large tips. Help Stangers when they ask. Always help your friends and family any chance you get. You can live a great and meaningful life following this way.
