Back To Normal-ish
With the shops now opened in England, we are spoiling ourselves rotten. I have popped in a few shops myself, over the last couple of weeks.
I love my books, magazines, you name it… just about anything that could potentially quench my curious nature (Or maybe just easily bored self)
Today as I went through my latest and newest
Not So Free
My initial hope was that I was about to drool and feast on what’s new in our shop. Nope, not with this magazine. Checked it out and that is when I realised that it did have the price printed on it. It costed £1.99. I really don’t remember buying it let alone paying for it.
As I jogged my memory, I remembered an incident that happened recently. Had picked up a “free” magazine
from one of the shops on my way out. That is where one expects the shop’s catalogue usually is, isn’t it? All I can now recall is a lady looking at me and I assumed that she did because she loved my newly dyed blonde hair. Smiled and continued my way.
Here is the pickle, I can’t take it back to pay for it, as I have no idea from where I picked it up from. It doesn’t say, my memory is beyond wits. So I have to deal with the guilt for quite a long time until I either forget about it or figure it out, whichever comes first.
Integrity ( & Character )
Integrity this is the ability to do the right thing even when no-one is watching. It is the one thing we need to safeguard with all our might. A person of high value is able to build lasting and sustainable systems and leave a legacy behind. Be it in their family, business or whatever interactions they have.
No one tells us or demands of us to be of exceptional character, it is a choice we have to make day in, day out.
- It is what makes as smile at the bus driver.
- Open the door to that elderly lady.
- Apologise for forgetting being on the wrong lane.
- Take back that extra apple the grocery man accidentally gave you.
You can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do.
-Henry Ford
If you want to live an extraordinary life, do extraordinary things and be extraordinary.
That said what should I do?
Take Care!
