Yeah. Ok.
But it really does.
I'm not talking about the "people-pleasing-door-mat-style" of being nice. Not at all.
I'm talking about a sincere and honest effort towards being decent, courteous, and kind--With everyone!
Lately I have found that an interaction with anybody can be a pleasant experience if my approach is from a standpoint that is empathetic, friendly and honest.
It's like a mirror. It reflects back.
This is all new to me. Or more accurately, I have just started to appreciate this powerful truth.
If I am in a grumpy mood and feel low patience for anything, I come into contact with a lotta grumpy impatient people.
When I'm feeling grateful, happy and appreciative, I tend to meet a lotta pleasant and wonderful folks.
Pretty cool.
My "macho-wanna-be" side dismisses this experience as nonsense. I don't know why that is.
But I do know this: Kindness begats kindness.
Give it a try.

Well put Ron. The macho side that rejects this attitude is the ego. I try and let my Attitude be Gratitude and pays huge dividends. Also when I go out I mentally whisper to myself-I love everyone and everyone loves me! The results are simply amazing.
