CONSIDERATION
Our society allows people to be absolutely neurotic and totally out of touch with their feelings and everyone else’s feelings, and yet be very respectable.
Our professional accomplishments are one thing, but we often take them to be the whole thing, or the only thing that matters. There is so much more to life. Let us not focus solely on our careers and acquisitions, but on our achievements as human beings. Let us look at the way we treat our spouses, our children, our friends, our community, and ourselves. When we learn to nourish and nurture and not just consume, we become more “whole.†We acquire inner respectability, a goal far worthier than all the window dressing we can manage.
Call to Action: On this day, I pledge to do something nice for a colleague or a loved one, or to call or write a “thank you†letter to someone who has helped me.
