Go that extra mile...

There is no one on it.

That is right, do what others are not doing,

I have so much going through my brain at the moment. How to turn negativity into positivity. Not that I am negative at the moment.

But going that extra mile will add so much positivity to your life and others that it life changing.

Christmas

The most wonderful time of the year. NOT. Well leading up to it, for most people.

I had a few things to do after work. I had to finish up some Christmas shopping and oh boy.

Next to no one is going the extra mile. Just about every one is looking out for themselves.

What simplest things I did, and anyone could do to brighten someone's stress this time of year.

50 car line up at a red light, every one in a rush when it turns green, no one letting anyone needing to get out of the parking lot in line. I did.

45 minutes in line in a grocery story to activate a gift card. Watching all the grumpy people. Bunping each other, getting mad at staff.

I did two things.

  1. I was on Hive
  2. I was polite to strangers and I thanked the cashier and wished her a merry Christmas.

I went to other stores that were not as busy and did the same thing.

Death

Christmas can be stressful in the best of times. But when you know you are dying (my wife. My regular readers know the story) it can be almost mentally breaking.

Every gift you wrap, you cry. Everything you touch to go to wrap for your grandchildren you cry. Because you think it may be the last time you do so.

I have to listen, I have to be Mr. Positive. I have to take the road not taken. The one no one else on. Both for my wife's and my sanity.

What does this have to do with Hive?

Or LeoFinance?

There are a select few that go that extra mile.

For me, on this Blockchain, that extra mile is showing up every day. Posting at least once a day. Engaging with others. Making comments, replying to comments. Upvoting, reblogging.

But to do that here, you have to do that out there in the offline world.

You have to be positive

It will show. You will donthe things I just said above. You will become more comfortable doing these things every day.

You will become addicted. Moat of all, if you go the extra mile you will become successful. If you don't, you won't.

I am alive and Thriving

Christmas is definitely getting me busy because I want to finish everything to have those few days off. Showing up every day will pay off here on Hive because we are in control of how much we build here.

Good post @bradleyarrow !
That was nice of you to be polite to the cashier and others around you at the stores! More people should be this way.
You made their day I am sure of it!
I try to do this but sometimes it is really hard if I had been hurt and I forget. Most of the time I try to be this way.
Barb 😊
