When things dont go to the way you want. How do we think and react? If you fail to plan then you plan to fail, is the saying. Well when it is other people involved it is not easy.

So what do we do?
You have planned meetings with a person. The meetings were scheduled in another city the day after and you have to go there by boat. Later that evening on the boat you realize that he is not on the boat. You call him. He does not answer and you go to bed.

Early next morning comes a text message on your cellular phone. It says Sorry can not be there. I call you and inform about the meetings. But he wont do that either. So you wait until nothing happens. How do you react? What are your thoughts?

Do you go crazy, shouting and yelling?
Or do you start to think -what can I learn from this?
If it happens what would be the dream scenario?
Is it our work to educate people?

What I have learned with this kind of behaviours is that I think it is not our job to teach other how to live their lives. It is a good time for your reflections about how you would treat others. Do like the bible says- treat people the way you would like to be treated it can never go wrong then.

Is it a matter in generations shifts?
It could be something in it.
I know my parents would go nuts if they were alive.

It also reminds me of what things are important in my life. Respect older people and reach out your hand for help. Assisting and ask for it. Meet people in a positive way. Greet others. Recognize each other and talk more. See others for whom they are. Walk in their shoes. See life from their perspective if they have problems.

Do not use too much of your own ego.

Most of all if you can not make yourself happy Make somebody else day worth while.

Keep smiling. Life is a blessing and so are you!
