Today's Thought:It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
I love that quote.... the first time I saw it was on a pillow that someone took great care to needlepoint for a dear friend - it was on her sofa in her beautiful apartment on 5th Avenue in New York. It is so true that it is nice to be important - but so much more important to be nice.
I work with some amazing people. I work with well established families who are hiring household help and also hard working humble people who needs jobs....and trust me some of those servers ie: Chefs,Housekeepers, Nannies, Estate Managers etc... get amazing positions! In addition some of the people are very hard to please....which makes me want to go the distance to serve. Being a mom is not always easy and there are days when we wish we could rewind and do things different. I find that when we get our egos out of the way and humble ourselves everything works out - whether it is working with our children or with other people in our world. When we walk with kindness others are drawn toward us. Like the photo of today's thought- the water and the sunset remind me of peace. We need to pursue peace above all else. When we are calm and peaceful, we are able to flow with everything around us. Just for today - one day at a time do your best to be nice. That does not mean be a doormat and let your children or people walk over you - but whatever you say - say it with love.
