I realised tonight how I was continually being a hypocrite in many, untold fields throughout my life.
When I realisd this, I simultaneously accepted it, and it felt great. I should think that the vast, vast majority of the people that I know are also hypocrites.

@ Cath – They used to make me cringe too, now not so much, although I have to be entirely honest and say a tiny part of me did want to punch him ;-)

@ Jake – Couldn’t agree more that it’s possible to be super wealthy and still a good person. I think being rich magnifies somebody’s personality to a certain degree. If they are already insecure, then money wont hide that.

@ Ian – So you’re the guy that can’t drive. You should come to Orlando, you would fell really at home on the Turnpike.

@ Dena – You’re welcome as long as that chord got acted upon ;-)

This is great, Tim. The hardest to love need it the most. That man clearly needed it.

“Actually, enough is enough, it’s five years since I made that mistake, it’s time to let it go now and give myself an even break?”

That bit really, really struck a chord.

Thank you!

I’ve seen a few of those Mr VIP situations and they almost always involve getting to the front of the queue ahead of everyone else. Drives me up the wall!

Anyway. I think for most of us our harshest critic is ourselves. Sometimes that can be a good thing, provided we know how to give feedback effectively. But most of us don’t!

Btw I’m one of the few people who will admit to being a terrible driver.

Nice and interesting angle Tim.
This guy in line obviously is stuck in his ways. As you mentioned..it probably felt good to him to have people give into him..after all that’s how he got to be who is he is.

“Equality begins at home” – It’s true. If you practice being involved with other family members on a daily basis you will learn (unlike Mr. Airport)to be equal and loving. You can still have a large bank account and not be a jackass. People need just take a deep breath sometimes and be grateful for what they have instead of using their power to feel good about themselves.

Thanks,

Jake

Hi Tim – People like that guy make me cringe. I hope he lost a shedload of cash in the casino.

When I was younger – I used to think everyone was better than me. Think it was the way I was brought up.

As I got older, I realized that nobody was better than me and I wasn’t better than everyone else either – no matter how stupid, or scruffy they were.

I think we all have the potential to wind up a success, in the gutter, or both.

Looking forward to reading your new book by the way – congratulations.

@ Deb – Thanks and it’s good trying to get back to a more normal routine.

@ Dave – You’re welcome. I actually don’t think there is a problem holding ourselves to high standards. The issues creep in imo when we then use that approach to beat uourselves up if we don’t always reach them.

@ Tina – Most people are and I include myself in that list. It’s 25 years since I read Catcher in the Rye and I can’t remember what it was about other than some kid telling people he was dying on a train. And I’m not even sure about that!

@ Lori – I agree with what you say. Also, how different does it feel to say “What I WANT be reminding myself is that everyone has a vibe and I need to connect with the people that I can help.

Should is such a restrictive word. Check this out: http://snipurl.com/rwn46
