Can I have a cookie? No. Why?
Can I play Nintendo all day? No. Why?
Can I go with my brother Rob? No. Why? -probably a good thing I didn't. :-)
Here are a few "why" questions I have on my mind today:
- Why don't we listen better?
- I need to work on "being in the moment". A lot of times my mind is going 100 mph and I can't concentrate. Communication is so key. Having a strong desire to show people you care and having compassion all relate back to great listening skills. Focus on your listening skills.
- Why do we lack patience?
- I see it all the time. I am guilty of it. Sitting at a restaurant and my food isn't coming fast enough. Waiting in line and the line isn't moving. Stuck at a railroad crossing and the train isn't moving fast enough. Working with an individual and they are being defiant. The older I get I realize that patience is important for my overall health. My stress level goes up when I lack patience. The next time you feel that internal peak of impatience, take a step back and ask yourself "is this really worth getting worked up over?"
- Why do the Vikings stink?
- Sorry - I couldn't help myself. :-)
God Bless,
Jay Townsend
