“WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT I DO!”
WOW. Well the answer to that is; everyone.
Are you aware that everything you DO, effects the others around you?
Are you aware that everything you SAY, effects the others around you?
If you’re not aware of this, you should be because all of your actions & words have considerable effects on everyone.
The power of the word is incredibly massive.
It can help or destroy someone before you take your next breath after saying something negative or hateful about someone.
The power of the things you do can be equally powerful.
It can help or create an incredible amount of work for them to fix or correct something you’ve done or left behind.
Think about these 2 issues of what you say & what you do.
Intentional or not, you have a direct effect & impact on other people, everyday.
I hope you will just ponder that for a moment, because that is a huge responsibility that you have when you are around others.
Your presence, company, inclusion or gathering, should not be taken lightly.
Why? Because, it’s not just about you. It’s not about your feelings, your time, you actions, or thoughts. It can directly be related to someone elses feelings, time, actions or thoughts.
Today, I want to share with you a few Rules for Living.
These are just a few unselfish thoughts, to live by, because it’s really not always about YOU.

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO, THAT SAYS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
If you move it, put it back.
If you make a mess, clean it up.
If you borrow it, return it.
If you value it, take care of it.
If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.
If you break it, admit it.
If you unlock it, lock it up.
If you turn it on, turn it off.
If you open it, close it.
If it ‘ain’t broke’, don’t fix it.
If you drop it, pick it up.
If it belongs to someone & you want to use it, get permission.
If it will tarnish someone’s reputation, keep it to yourself.
If it will brighten someone’s day, say it.
If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.
If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.

These seem pretty common sense don’t they? Sort of the “Law Common Sense”. Then why are so many people not doing them? GOOD QUESTION!
I really don’t think I’m alone when I say, these are some of my pet peeves.
Think before you speak, or do things & ask yourself:
- will this hurt someone if I say this?
- will this cause more work for someone else?
- is this something I need to know?
- did I leave this the way I found it?
- will this impact someone else’s life?
If your answer is yes to any of these, then don’t do it. It’s not worth it & if you do go through with it, it will say everything about YOU!

wow Linda – another keeper! I like that little checklist of questions about how my decision will affect others. I think I will copy it and carry it with me -this is great to remember. Thank you.
Thank you Nancy. It’s amazing how everything we do, effects others in one way or another isn’t it. Thank you for your list, & be sure to ‘check it twice’! Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
They are pretty basic things to do really but not everyone does them. I also like your check list before we act or speak to others. Another great post LInda thank you.
Thank you Sue, interesting how we forget the basics, the core values isn’t it. If folks would stop & pause before they speak, things may go a little smoother. Thank you for your insight.
What a brilliant little checklist Linda! It reads like an Aesop’s Fable 🙂
I have learned that thinking before one speaks can be the quickest way to living a happy life. I have this thing where I count to 10 and ask some of the questions you pose above. I have discovered that not speaking out loud everything that comes to mind leads to a very peaceful life 🙂
Hahaha, yes Erica & these are older than the dinosaurs & the titanic too! In fact they’re all pretty basic, but the more I’m around people & watch people, I’m reminded that so many have either forgotten the basics or never learned them to begin with. Everything we do effects others & your method of counting is such a good idea. You’re soo right, it does lead to a very peaceful life! Thank you so much for your thoughts & insight, as always.
Agree totally Linda and I have found that its also the things I DON’t do that affects people also.
At times I have thought that I wouldn’t say anything or I wouldn’t do anything and my action, what ever way I went, still affected people around me
Thanks Linda
Di
Thank you Di, for your feedback, valid point.
I also love your list Linda.
I will be the first one to say that unintentionally I have indeed said or done things that have upset someone. I think for us to not say that we are kidding ourselves. I have learned that no matter how respectful your intentions, there is always going to be someone, somewhere that has a problem with your thinking. I like your list a great deal, it should be on everyones fridge. Thank You Linda.
Thank you Rhonda, I like your idea of the list on everyone’s fridge! Thanks for your thoughts.
