Quite often, when my children leave the house I remind them to be good by saying “Remember who you are.” My kids know what I mean by this expression; Say “No” to drugs, don’t mess with alcohol and remain sexually pure. However, I would now like to take it a step further. Being good is also an action of reaching out to those who don’t deserve goodness and being good to them anyway. Defining goodness in this way takes the emphasis off of ourselves and focuses it on others. It’s a do unto others as you would have them do unto you thing. Remember who you are today. Comment here.

As I observe many drivers and companies, a single word seems somewhat obsolete to me. That word is faithful. According to the Webster’s dictionary, faithful means steadfast, to show allegiance to, or loyal. It appears to me that many drivers and companies feel that they have only themselves to take care of. Let me encourage you to remain constant with your employer or your employee. Things will only become better as time goes on. Every time we switch companies or drivers, we have to start at the bottom again. Let’s work toward the best that is offered; life will make a way for you to get rewarded for your faithfulness.

When we use the word “love” do we really mean it? Real love is unmerited or undeserved, great, transforming and unchangeable. Despite our tendency to fail or make mistakes, we all would still like to receive love. So in saying that, keep it in mind when the ones you love make mistakes. Our love for those closest to us should not be dependent upon how they act or what they do. Our love for others should be unmerited and real. Comment here.

When I was growing up, a real treat was having my very own candy bar (I didn’t get out much). One of my favorites was Mr. Goodbar. The name fit exactly. It was good. Another treat happened once a year, when my grandparents would take me to a Detroit Tigers baseball game. I would look forward to going to the ball park all year. This too was good for me. When I see so many things today that are not good out on the highways, I like to reflect back on these good memories. It’s a shame when we allow the bad things to trump the good things in life. I believe that when we show goodness to others, we’ll be the ones that come out on top. Share goodness with someone today. Comment here.
