we are born with the capability of behavior that can resemble a firecracker or a feather

let’s examine the firecracker factor:

• very loud
• very messy
• can create damage
• powerful for a moment
• lasting effects…………….marginal

now the feather factor:

• light…………..adaptable
• non threatening
• comforting
• structured
• non-combative
• longer lasting influence

now which behavior would you prefer dealing with?

faced with a lady who rear-ended my car……………..the damage was done, no one would physically have any scars, we exchanged numbers and took pictures with our phones, she couldn’t drive her car so i gave her a ride home………….we got into a conversation about things we liked to do and she told me she was a painter and had taught art in school………………so now she is my teacher and she is teaching me how to draw, our cars got fixed and no one has any scars……………..and i’m glad that lady hit me in the rear because she has become a dear friend because we both choose to be feathers and not firecrackers

kindness is power, not weakness…………………….be strong be kind
