Good morning gentlemen and ladies, Part of our journey of being a better version of ourselves and becoming gentlemen and ladies (for the ladies in this community ) is how we handle situations in our lives. Our actions and our words have consequences and they reflect who we are, and when we allow others to affect out responses we tend to loose control and therefore we are seen not for what we are striving to be but for our responses. Our ability to remain and refrain from loosing out temper and saying things that are not of a gentleman or a lady will give an impression that cannot easily be changed once out. The fact of the matter is, you can do hundred things right and it will go unnoticed, but do or say one thing wrong and people will remember that for a long time. And once you loose control of your actions and words you cannot take them back. If you were to squeeze an orange what would come out of it? Orange juice. And that is the truth. If you were to squeeze the orange would pineapple juice, apple juice, or grape juice come out? Of course not because that is not what is in it. So why would orange juice not come out of it? Because that is what is in it. So lets look at our lives, when we are squeezed or pressured by what people do to us, or what people say about us, and we respond with anger, hatred, judgement, criticism, or fear, and you say it’s because of the person that squeezed or pressured us. And no one wants to be squeezed or pressured. You believe that it’s that person who squeezed you or put pressure on you that caused those things to come out of you. No it’s not the person doing the squeezing or causing the pressure that produces the what comes out of you, it’s what is in you that is coming out. So when you start to change your style, your clothes, your demeanor, we need to also change our minds and our hearts. Because you can be the best dressed person and have total confidence in yourself, but when you loose control of your words and actions none of that will matter.
