Beachy Beach February Love Note
(Originally published February 17, 2018)
Dear Beautiful amazing Beachy Beachers,
I have always loved words…. I love to read, I love to write and I especially love the happy words. I have found that the more lovely I speak the more lovely my life is. I was blessed this past week to spend time helping a couple of agents reflect on their goals and what was important to them. It reminded me of what is the most important thing to me and hopefully it may help you too.
Have you ever noticed that there are some people that when you see them coming that you go….. oh my can I turn the other way??? You know that whatever they say it will be negative and it is usually about things they can do nothing about. They complain about the weather, they whine about the traffic, they whine about their work, they whine about their weight ( I have been guilty of this one), they just love to spew negative. Many people say they are just getting it off their chest. The problem with this is they are not only getting if off their chest but thrusting it onto your spirit.
We have a fairly new challenge in our world and that is Facebook and the people that think it should be their forum to complain and rant in big fashion and with a large audience. They hide behind the computer and they forget that their audience is filled with all kinds of people with many beliefs. If their intent is to change the world they would best do that by showing love with every post they write. You will never in your life time change people to your way of thinking by argueing your point!!!! Dale Carnegie very wisely recounts that, "There is only way under high heaven to get the best of an argument and that is to avoid it."
One of my fave books that I have read to the point of being tattered is " How to Win Friends and Influence People" It teaches us to think about the other person and their needs and where they are coming from. It seems that on Social Media many people are trying to win an argument of somekind most of the time. This is good stuff from Dale Carnegie:
You can't win an argument. You can't because if you loose it you loose it and if you win it , you loose it. Why? Well suppose you triumph over the other man and shoot his argument full of holes and prove that he is wrong. Then what? You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior. You have hurt his pride. He will resent your triumph and…… A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
So you ask yourself how do I win? You win by sharing love, talking love and YES especially on Social Media. If we ever hope to change our world then we must be kind in every arena. What we want to get off our chest are good kind and uplifting words so that in turn the next person does the same. Try this week to notice what you write and if it is not of good worth and not of value to others….. hit that ever so wonderful delete button and see how uplifted you are. LIfe is simple subtraction and addition. Subtracting that which is of little value and add that which adds value to your lives and others.
See ya soon….. and RIGHT now at this time share a loving post so that all who read will be filled with great joy!!!!!
I love yall so much!!!
