One of the biggest surprises I’ve encountered as an adult was to realize that adults don’t have it all figured out.
As a kid I always felt like adults had their act together and this ‘life’ thing figured out, but now as an adult myself, I see evidence every day that lends to the contrary. In fact, it even at times appears that many adults have two entirely different faces, one for public eyes and another for the private eyes.
That’s right folks, the face that we see at the churches and in the stores can be quite different than the one we see behind closed doors. The voices we hear over the phones may be totally different than the ones we would hear in the homes.
I continue to have many who grace the comfy chairs of my office who wear the biggest of smiles out in public but are living out lives of quiet desperation and exasperation in their private lives. Their cheeky photos and videos may show captions of happiness and joy, but inside they’re screaming “Oh My and Oh BOY!”
I’m reminded of the fact that many people continue to loosely use the phrase, “I’ll treat you like family” in an attempt to gain the trust of another. But, knowing what I know about how some people treat their family behind closed doors, I would much rather be treated like a customer. 🙂
Although this notion reigns true for so many out there in our general public, the tragedy is that most people who are guilty and are in much need of a change may not even know that it’s a problem or recognize that this shoe fits them. As a result, I would simply like to say, “Don’t let it be YOU.”
Realize and recognize that it’s even more important to treat your family and loved ones with respect, dignity and kindness in the house as it is for you to treat the general public when you’re out.
This breadcrumb of wisdom can definitely lead to a more peaceful palace at home and a gentle spirit when you’re gone. So, let’s keep Making it GREAT!
