Let
Someone Go in Line in Front of You
With technology becoming more and more advanced, as
a society we get used to doing everything as quick as possible and getting
everything we want instantaneously. When we’re caught up in the face-paced
world of today, we often forget to stop to notice those around us. So next time
you’re in a hurry in public, slow down and go out of your way to be courteous
to everyone around you. When you’re standing in the checkout line, waiting to
pay for your food at the grocery store or waiting to order your drink at a
coffee shop, offer to let the person behind you go in front of you.
Benefits
This is a great way to practice patience, a virtue
that will carry over into all areas of your life. It’s also a simple way to
make someone’s day memorable. Would you forget the stranger who went out of his
or her way to make your day?
Step It Up
Make it a habit to offer someone your place in line
or let them go in front of you at least once a day. You’ll be surprised at how
many opportunities arise and at how practicing patience will impact your daily
life.
Keep It Simple
Another way to practice patience and be generous to
those in front of you in line is to be gracious about waiting your turn. Don’t
complain or think badly of the person in front of you, even if they are taking
a long time. Or when someone cuts you in line, try not to dwell on it.
