Life, is always will be about "choices", listening to your inner core thoughts and simply doing the right thing. I have always sad, it is easier to get caught up in the ugliness of what this world has to offer, more than the goodness. Surrounding yourself with the kind of people, places, things, is in my opinion "KEY" for keeping us on track. I was very fortunate to be blessed with too amazing parents, they always consider others needs 1st before theirs and us as a family. For instance, my Mother was one of the people who recently lost everything at the age of 91 young in the Yarnell Fire and yet during the fire, she was more concerned about the people that she didn't know if they made it or not. She has lived her whole life that way and is my constant reminder of what life truly is about. Thank you for allowing all of us to share what is important to us.

I grew up in church and strongly believe that having been given the spiritual foundation and faith has helped progress thru my adult life. I by far have not had an easy or perfect life. The exact opposite would be the truth of that matter but each struggle, trial and bad things that have come up have made me a stronger person. My #1 first rule for myself is to trust God no matter what. #2 is to treat others the way I want them to treat me. If I am rude and mean then I can only expect that in return. On this same note, if someone is being rude or mean to me I try to treat them even nicer. I just think maybe they just had some bad news or their boss is treating them badly or 100's of other reasons. They may just need a friendly smile. Lastly #3 is to be a hard worker not only at work with your employer but also at home or wherever else you may be working whether the boss is watching or not. I have earned the trust of every employee I have worked with and they know I will get the job done no matter what. If I expect my crew to perform a task I always make sure they see I am just as willing to do the task. I could go on and on but it all boils down to just being a good person. If you are good, have an unshakable faith in God and treat ALL others as equals (regardless of what they look like or act like, etc). Life may not be perfect but it will be good.GDH1217https://www.blogger.com/profile/06874020508421042974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238094528897846688.post-28127959791623148582013-07-31T17:48:53.924-07:002013-07-31T17:48:53.924-07:00Thanks for sharing your message.I write a blog cal...Thanks for sharing your message.I write a blog called 365 Days of Difference in which I describe an act of kindness that I perform each day. This desire to reach out has changed the way I view my day. When you focus on an action to give to others, your own selfishness is diminished.

It is too easy to get off track in our society with our strict principles to live by. I just wrote a similar blog on this subject, I think you will appreciate the subject. Keep up the good work you are doing at Cowboy Ethics.<br /><br />http://dustywunderlich.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/its-all-about-me-how-entitlement-is-destroying-our-culture/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238094528897846688.post-24227745955242298622013-07-31T07:56:16.961-07:002013-07-31T07:56:16.961-07:00Kent Noble, has the perfect last name.

These reminders he sends to workshop participants help each of us to examine the current path we're on at various intervals. I like the GPS analogy; with a little adjustment on our route, we can get right back on our true life path. brachiopodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891528202684084173noreply@blogger.com
