My mission in life

Daily writing prompt
What is your mission?

Mission: In a world where you can be anything, be kind. (Jennifer Dukes Lee)

As we go through life, we realize the simple things that create joy in others’ lives. It’s simple and fulfilling. I was in a supermarket. An elderly woman was telling me about her occupation before retiring. She shared how much she enjoyed her job working at Strawbridge & Clothier. I remembered the big chain store and its Clover Day and the great sales.

She told me that her daughter rushes her whenever she takes her to run errands. I noticed that she was dressed impeccably, as if she were still working. I smiled and admired her gift of painting her life for me. She smiled at me because I was genuinely listening. I helped her pick out some fruit, and we said our goodbyes. You can’t put a price on things like this. My mission is to make more connections. ❤️

Lessons

When people act shady, allow them. When people betray your trust, allow them. But never, ever sink to their level. Their choices are a direct reflection of who they are, not who you are. No matter how angry, hurt, or disappointed you may be – do not allow them to make you bitter. Be better. React with love. Sometimes that means retaliating with understanding and compassion; other times it means retaliating with acceptance and sheer silence. Whatever it is, make sure it benefits you as a human being instead of lowering you into a position which you would rather not be in. Normal people dont go around destroying other human beings. Only those who are hurt, lost, and confused cause pain. Don’t be one of them. Just take the lessons and move on gracefully.
