Be a class act
| Wed, 03-30-2005 - 12:08pm |
I received an email yesterday from my ex's best friend. In it, he thanked me for sending a contribution to his charity a few weeks ago (I owed him a few hundred bucks from the New Year's trip which was just before my ex broke up with me, and he asked that I send it to a charity instead). He said it was "classy" of me to have sent the money "in light of all that has transpired."
While it had never occurred to me to NOT send the money because of the breakup, it was really nice of the friend to comment on it. This is surely something to aspire to: even in the midst of hurting and pain, you and I can still choose to be classy women (and men)!

The day I started 'doing the right thing for the right reason'......and the day I made the commitment to always living up to my values, priorities and standards....the day I realized that my choices and my decisions determined my destiny.......I've never not be a "class act".
I've never again treated people, nor responded to any situation - based on "how I feel". I've responded based on what I believe and value and prioritize......and that let me finallly "get" the AA adage that so eluded me as to meaning all those years.
"Act how you wish you felt, and at some point you'll feel how it is you're acting."
That's because in acting in accordance with values and priorities and principles at all times - you earn your own respect and trust and admiration. Which makes you "feel" great!
