Sensible Acts
There are certain everyday actions that demonstrate a person's entire approach to life. You can do what is good, bad or indifferent. It is possible to decide your actions by asking yourself what is ultimately right and, therefore, sensible. Those who practice sensible acts live richer lives, I am pretty sure of it. There is satisfaction in narrowing your choices down to what is right and wrong and then making decisions based on what is justifiably right. We can demonstrate doing what is right with everyday, common actions. I have comprised a short list of sensible acts for those that would like a guide for a more enriching and satisfying approach to life. Pick up litter, within reason, even if its not yours. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Wipe the basin after washing your hands and brushing your teeth. Return things as you found them or better than you found them. Look people in the eye when speaking with them, even for a moment. Consider the safety of yourself and others in all that you do. Be prepared to the best of your ability in all that you do. Treat others the way you expect to be treated. Correct mistakes you made, but don't be quick to correct others. Understand others' point of view without losing your own. Wait a few precious seconds for the last in a line of cars to pass before you jump in, even if you think you can make it. If you invest in the time to do something, do it right, then it is time well spent. Many people are raised with the proper mores, others make improvements upon themselves. Once you use the method of justifying decisions into what is 'good and bad', 'right or wrong', 'better or worse', you may find that things will go your way more often when choosing to perform a lifetime of sensible acts. |
