Word had been getting more out about The Returning Dignity Project. That gets me really more and more excited about the whole thing.
The whole idea of this project is to make everyday personal interactions more genuine..
I have been thinking about the old adage, "That was the straw that broke the camel's back." The idea that something so small is the thing that finally pushed an already exacerbated situation over the limit.
I think many times we all say things or do things that are snarky or mean and don't think about the true consequences of those words or actions.
What if making a quip about someones relationship was the final dig they "needed" to go and end that relationship? What if a sarcastic comment to someone only rooted them more in shame?
Do we want to be the straw that breaks any one's back?
This is your challenge for the week...
When the temptation comes up to be harsh, sarcastic or dismissive; instead take a step back and work on saying something to build up that person or be supportive of them in a genuine way. This way we can help lessen each others load and make the day or even just the moment a little bit easier.
Happy Tuesday everyone and I look forward to seeing how challenge #3 unfolds for everyone.
