Honorable

There are a few individual teachers who have impacted my sphere of thinking. I had a grammar school fifth-grade teacher who brought donuts every Friday, I had a junior high baseball coach who played catch with me four hours, and I had a creative writing instructor who influenced my life with his weird remarks and high grades while he was high on drugs, go figure. Roy is that special figurehead we all idolize because of its heroic nature. We all desire to follow in the footsteps of somebody who magnifies the impossible and there’s never anything wrong with looking while your eyes are bugging out of their sockets at someone who does something so effortlessly and so magnificently.

Giving honor to whom honor is due is such a vital aspect, whether it’s horizontal honor or mutual respect (person to person), or vertical honor which is giving praise and esteem to those who are superior(whatever their ranks). Honor is the value of a person in his own eyes, but also in the eyes of his society.

Years before, I never thought about our planet, so why did I deserve a slap in the face for my abstinence or my non zealous rant to save Momma E   ? When you forget your beginnings, it’s easy to bring light to justify your exit. It’s not our saving grace, it’s God’s. And usually it’s not what we have done, it’s what we haven’t done. Those are called the acts of omission. We always tend to forget those we care for the most. We leave our daughters or sons at their school forgetting to pick them up as they cry in horror wondering where their parents are. It’s the fathers who are absent from watching their sons or daughters games. It’s the mothers who are amiss at helping the kids with their studies. And living green is not living large like Trump or Gates. And living green is not saving the whales with Green Peace like in front of Mother’s Market. Green is right, and ready for the picking!

Being considerate is valuing someone else’s life above your own, and is a major key for our revitalization for them, for us and the entire global monstrosity.

Here are seven ways you can tell if you’re being considerate.

The first is, you smile a lot, since you’re trying to see past the crappiness of life by setting the potency, that’s safe and secure for everyone within reach.

Secondly, you put others first, which is one of the greatest approaches to demonstrate compassion.

Thirdly, you try and overlook bad manners, because we all know how annoying character flaws can bother us to no end, and we need to avoid conflict, cause it’s peace at any cost, and that’s the goal.

Forth, you are patient, even when you don’t feel like it, since the most important party is the one that’s having issues that need attending to.

Fifth, you’re empathetic, and I don’t mean pathetic or that they’re impossible, but it’s imperative that you’re feeling their hurt, sensing their loss, or fixing what’s wrong.

Sixth is being intuitive or aware of other people’s needs, because if you don’t, who in the heck will?

And lastly, you have to apologize, but only when it’s appropriate. You can’t keeping saying over and over, “I’m sorry,” and expect that they’ll comprehend your response.

I always felt if we get mixed up and lost in double digits, we lose those who we’re trying to help. We know of short attention spans of kids who have ADD or ADHD, and we’re aware of those elderly types who nod off in the first 10 minutes, yet what about those in the middle, who are craving and desiring to be fed the tiny morsels of great thought for enlightened behavior? This section of the book is where small individual words take on a major platform of expression that we as people can’t dismiss nor should we ever eliminate from our absorption. We are broken vessels in need of a potter, and we need to remember it’s not what we do or where we go, it’s who we are that cuts through our constant dreaded dullness.

There was a friend of mine who hated heights and if I asked him to climb a 6 foot ladder it would take hours to get him up and then straddle him down. There’s something about being a bird that puts us all to bed. Heights have never been my foe, but I can attest to the fact they could be my downfall which is an oxymoron. In construction we use ladders all the time to get in and out of an attic or on or off some roof. Yet ladders in real life are examples of the steps of action needed to take to raise up above the competition, and we are in competition, whether we’d like to say yes or say no to the reality of their fact. Humility goes a long ways while pride is a rabbit punch to the gut.

Jumping head first into the fire with no questions asked or zero hesitations flying in the wind is being ambitious on a Macy’s coat string. Because you’ll need ambition, so these character traits will factor into your everyday lifestyle of hit or miss.

It’s all about getting the job done.

It’s all about being good at what you do.

It’s all about making sure it will save the planet.

It’s all about someone else other than ourselves.

It’s all about following your passions and fulfilling your dreams.

It’s all about setting goals but not sharing them with anyone else.

It’s all about willing to take crazy risks.

It’s all about exposing yourself to new ways of thinking.

It’s all about being totally focused on the point of execution.

It’s all about, never jockeying for position with anyone else.

It’s all about surrounding yourself with true blue ambitious people.
