Do the Right Thing; Can it Be That Simple?
Words of wisdom from a young man changed my life.

In any given situation, it doesn’t matter so much what is logical; what matters most is asking what feels right. Once you have decided what feels right, move down that path gingerly; watch for any inconsistencies and problems, and adjust your actions accordingly. -Stuart Wilde
I have been feeling conflicted in head and heart for the past few days and haven’t been able to produce anything. I wouldn’t say I am facing a writer’s block, because I have started a few pieces. Ideas are there and words are flowing, however, it just doesn’t feel right.
Many years ago, when I was working at the Black-Eyed Pea restaurant, we used to get manager trainees in our store to learn the operation. During the last week of their training, they will lead pre-shift meetings, which were part informational and part motivational.
I remember Mike, a young man who went through the program. On the last day, he shared something that has left a lasting impression on my mind. As he said his thanks and farewell, he said, “Let me leave you with these simple words.”
Do the right thing.
Four words!
I never forgot them.
What I am trying to say is that in my writing I’ve made a commitment to do the right thing; provide the highest possible value I can to my readers.
I know I’ll find my groove and figure out how to do it right, but I wanted to get this off my shoulders and get something published that is not a waste of your time. I appreciate you lending me your time and reading what I have to share.
I am writing this to remind myself that it is more important to do the right thing than to Just Do It!
I promise to do the right thing, always!
As always, thank you for reading and responding.
