Take the High Road

When people annoy you (the driver in front of you, the cat, your kids, a co-worker), just for this week – let it go. 


Intentionally decide not to respond in anger or annoyance. 


Smile if you can and remember that nine times out of ten, the other person is not really trying to offend you and the only person who suffers from their behavior is you. 


For this week – take a deep breath, count to ten, look away, make an intentional decision to cut people some slack.

    What is living intentionally?

    Remember when you were a kid and you broke something or took something that wasn’t yours or said something you shouldn’t have said? When your mother pinned you down on it, your knee-jerk reply was, “I didn’t mean to do it!”

    Living intentionally means living like you mean it. It’s not doing anything simply because everyone else does it or it’s easy or  cheap. It means choosing what’s best for your health, your family, your community, or this earth. Sometimes that’s easy -like recycling your newspapers, and sometimes it’s hard, like choosing to give up white sugar because your body will be better for it.
