Everyone has those days

Post i stole from facebook; "As I was pulling into work, I was following this car. The sign in the back window says, “Learning stick sorry for any delay.”

Knowing this information, I was very patient with their slow shifting, and honestly they were doing pretty well for still learning. Then I asked myself a tough question: Would I have been just as patient if the sign hadn’t been there? I can almost definitely say no.

We don’t know what someone is going through. We don’t wear signs that illustrate our personal struggles. You don’t see signs taped to people’s shirts that say, “Going through a divorce”, or “Lost a child”, or “Feeling depressed”, or “Diagnosed with cancer”.

If we could read visually what those around us are going through we would definitely be nicer. But we shouldn’t have to see signs and have reasons to treat strangers with kindness. We should do it anyway, whether we know what is going on or not. Whether they deserve it or not.

Let’s give everyone an extra dose of patience, kindness, and love. And have a Merry Christmas." This is something i try to remember. Being a hairstylist means sometimes i have unhappy clients. Recently i had a lady in my chair who had told me everything she had going on in her life... she was a simple root retouch and we used the same color as always..she however cussed and was upset and said it was he wrong color when i had originally thought it was the best color I've done lately... i then remembered though it wasn't about the color... it was about the stress of life and holidays. She thought getting her done would help her mood but when it wasn't enough she became upset and blammed me. Sometimes theres no way to make a client happy. And sometimes we have to remember everyone is fighting their own battles and to treat everyone with kidness and respect no matter what💕💕
