Lessons in Life...

I am the first person to admit when I am wrong. I am also the first person to ask for help when I need it. I am also very hurt when someone disappoints me, especially when it keeps happening. It begins with hurt and sadness then it turns to anger but mostly disappointment and to me, that is the worst. I really dislike being let down by people, especially those you are supposed to be able to count on.
I found this quote and it really sums it up..."rejection may be as tough as physical pain. We need social connection and being excluded or rejected is perceived as being as harmful as something that can physically hurt us. We feel the pain of rejection in the same part of the brain, the anterior cingulated cortex, which responds to physical pain." Lenann McGookey Gardner
Wow, when I read that, I thought, exactly. How many people have felt rejected? Everyone!
Here is my point, I am not going to let that hurt and pain come from me. I am not going to let people down and disappoint them. My family, my jewelers, my co-workers, people need me and need my attention. So my lesson learned yesterday is to always take that moment or two to return that phone call or that text or say something nice like a compliment to make an impact. It is making a huge difference to people and will in your life too!
We can all be happier! We can all be more fulfilled! We can all be better! We can all go out of our way a little more to make someones day brighter!

Until next time...God bless!!!
