Day 224: Shabbat
- Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Criticize Another: I've found that my personality lends itself not only to asking these questions but also to asking questions of others after I've heard them criticize other people.
- Knowing When to Step Aside: N/A
- When You've Judged Another Unfairly: N/A
- "Therefore Was Man Created Singly": I still love this section so much. I'd like to come back and read it when I need some spiritual help.
- "If Someone Wishes to Kill You, Get Up Early and Kill Him First": N/A
- Be Conscious of the Goodness and Sweetness in Others: I like doing this. Sometimes I get to point out things that others didn't notice and sometimes I get to make people smile when I compliment them.
Day 225: The Good That You Do Lives On
I strongly believe that every person leaves a legacy and/or an impact on the world they leave behind. I'm not sure we always know what that legacy or impact is, but I do feel sure that actions you take influence the actions of other people.
By doing good, someone might be inspired to pay it forward. The memories of others do not die when you do; why not make your actions count?
Day 226: When It's Right to Be Early
Someone once told me that being 5 minutes early means I'm on time; if I'm on time then I'm late; and if I'm late, it's unacceptable.
Being on time says a lot about you: your reliability and other character traits that might matter to those spending time with you. It's one thing to be fashionably late, but if you run late and cause the person you're meeting any anxiety, you've done something wrong. It's good to be early: you have time to relax and you save the other person anxiety.
Now, I know I'm supposed to be on Day 231 now but I'll be catching up over the course of the week.
