Do you ever acknowledge and celebrate the good in people? It is all around, but sometimes I get distracted by the news and the hurt in the world and fail to remember that there is always good. And sometimes, I get those reminders.
This past week, I was watching a show with my kids when someone rang the doorbell. I opened the door to find a man that I didn’t know, but he knew my husband. He asked if this was Raul’s home, which made me suspicious. I think the man noticed my surprise and proceeded to give me really good news.
He had found Raul’s wallet and since there was no phone number, he drove to the house to return it! I was speechless. At the end of our conversation, I thanked him and told him he was reminding me that there always good around us.
Raul lost his wallet three times and has always gotten it back. My daughter lost her wallet once and then got a package in the mail with it. These are four occasions where members of my family lost an item and by the goodness in people, got them back.
Have you ever lost something and then someone brought it back to you? Have you ever said, “oh that never happens to me, they are just so lucky.” In this episode, I celebrate the good in people and also reflect on why don’t we all experience “the good” at all times.
Takeaways:
- Good people are all around us. I think it helps to look for the good, acknowledge when we experience it and celebrate it.
- Sometimes we hear comments like “you should be more careful.” I don’t think this comment is as helpful and reminds me not to “should” on ourselves or others.
- What makes people lucky? I look forward to your comments!
