Hello
How to Change the World with Your Turn Signal

"It all starts with a SMILE"
I was driving home from my grandson's little league baseball
game last week and found myself behind an interesting car. The
car caught my attention because it had a beautiful butterfly
decal on the back windshield, a "Visualize World Peace"
bumpersticker, and a "Think Locally, Act Globally" bumpersticker
on the bumper.
"There's a nice person," I thought.
Then the car suddenly hit the brakes and made a right turn. Without
using a turn signal.
I had a momentary flash of anger at the dangerous driving. And
then I laughed. I chuckled at the irony of the circumstances -
how the actions of the driver so shattered my expectations of
him/her. Then I thought more about it and realized that there
was a lesson there for all of us.
The lesson: You want world peace? Start by using your turn
signal. Want to think globally and act locally? Nothing more
"local" than using your turn signal.
My sentiment here is not a curmudgeonly one. I'm not being
cranky, bitter, nor sour. I'm smiling when I say those things.
What I mean is that its often easy for us to overlook and
trivialize the small things. Yet those "small" things we do are
the easiest for us to control. And they can also often be the
most powerful things we do - even when our ultimate goal is a
grand one.
When you take the time today to be considerate, thoughtful, or
simply follow society's rules for cooperation and safety, you
are changing the world in the most profound way possible. As
Mother Theresa often taught, you are changing the world in the
only way it can be changed - one person at a time!
No one of us is responsible for changing the entire world, but
each one of us can change the day of everyone we meet today. If
we want to.
Each one of us can smile at others today. Each one of us can
open a door for people today. Each one of us can pay a
compliment and express appreciation today. And each one of us
can use our turn signal!
I hope you allow your humor nature to guide you today and help
you change the world. Smile, laugh, wave, be polite, and be
kind. And thank you for using your turn signal; you made my day
better when you did!
