If we are grateful, we praise and compliment.

If we are grateful, we appreciate what we have.

If we are grateful, we treat others with respect.

Be grateful. Being a good human being doesn’t take a lot of effort, and the payoff is a wonderful life. You get to affect others in a good way. Who wants to be the ogre that spreads discord and pain? Apparently, some do without even knowing it.

That’s the problem: people don’t think as they were created to. You know, being mindful of other people’s feelings? God attempted to show us how to live by giving us the Ten Commandments, and many others have shared similar messages throughout history. It’s called the Golden Rule for a reason!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Some get it, some don’t.

No one has carte blanche to hurt another. We owe it to ourselves and others to be kind and grateful. We are responsible for our happiness, but not at the expense of another.

Yes, I’m fired up on this topic today, but it’s for good reason. I’ve had enough rude, disrespectful behavior, and I’m not taking it anymore, and neither should any of you!

If you are exposed to a hurtful person, sometimes it’s easier to walk away than to share how their behavior or words made you feel. It might just make things worse for you. Our feelings are important and deserve to be protected. Again, this is for those who are kind and nice to begin with and get taken for granted, not for everyone to believe they can do or say whatever they want, and it’s okay. Being rude and disrespectful is not okay.

Thank you for reading this. Let’s appreciate, root for each other, and treat one another with respect. Please leave a comment if this resonates with your life.

To respect,

Francesca
