An Opportunity
I was just on the phone with a friend, and we were sharing about how places don't give customer service any more. In fact, entire industries are suffering from a lack of it and may not exist in five years. What he said next, though, caught my attention. He said, "Well, this is an opportunity."
As we explored what that meant, we discussed how we all can shine brightly by simply doing the right things with kindness. My mind went further. This IS our chance to "be the change we want to see in the world."
Rather than complain about what we aren't getting, give it. Instead of focusing on how people are not behaving, be better. As Mother Theresa said, "Love them anyway." Every closed door is indeed an opportunity if we choose to view it in the right light.
