Motivation Monday - Responding When Life Seems Unfair

Hello Blue Eagle!

Sometimes, life seems unfair and we feel anxious about it. I have learned that action beats anxiety every time. 

Here are some "unfair" things that may happene and how we can respond:

[Unfair]  Someone cuts me off in traffic >>>

[Response]  Tell the first five people I see "GOOD MORNING" in the most cheerful voice possible

[Unfair]  Receive an email or direct message telling me what a horrible person I am  >>> 

[Response]  Send an email to five people thanking them for their positive impact on my life

[Unfair]  Receive a Google/Facebook review that's less than 5 stars >>>

[Response]  Write five 5-star reviews for businesses I use

[Unfair]  Someone's payment fails, and they ghost me >>>

[Response]  Buy coffee for the next five people at the coffee shop

What if every bad thing that happens to us, especially the things we think are "unfair," causes us to add goodness to the world five times over?

PS. I write "unfair" in quotes because I am not worthy of judging what is fair versus unfair. Even if the situation is unfair, the lesson we all teach our kids is that life is unfair.

Have a great week!
