The list of Stuff I Need to Write About just keeps getting bigger and bigger ... so instead of trying to tackle it right now, I give you this, from my Twittersbox a little bit ago:
When you're fortunate enough to have success and love what you do, you have a choice: Be kind and grateful, or be a dick. I choose the first.
When I see someone who is successful, whose work I enjoy, treat other people badly, it just makes me sick inside, and sad for them.
So I do my best to live by example, treat everyone with kindness, and never lose perspective on how lucky I am. Okay, thanks for listening.
It's easy to be a dick, to never be happy with what you have, and to treat someone else's success as your failure ... but how does that make you happier? How does that make you feel good about yourself? Every single day, we have hundreds of opportunities to make a choice: Kindess or Cruelty, Gratitude or Bitterness, Generosity or Selfishness ... the list goes on and on forever.
Our lives are the result of our choices, and every choice we make affects another person, often in ways we can't even imagine.
...so what kind of life do you choose to live?
(title quote from Kurt Vonnegut)
