Sunday Morning Reflections: Making Choices

It's Sunday, and I'm way off the topics of business and marketing, but I'm not far away from many of the challenges on everyone's mind lately. I love the messages in Story People and one that came in recently was on the same day that my good buddy Robert Vanelli wrote the following post on Facebook:

​I have a choice....so do they
I rushed to the Radiologist to have my hips x-rayed before they closed. I walked in and instantly saw....
NO MASK, NO SERVICE signs everywhere. I asked the front desk if they had extra masks (like Publix does) and the receptionist said sorry we don't.

My choice:
​
1) I could complain and make a scene.
2) Leave and go to another establishment that doesn't require masks.
3) Run quickly to the Walgreens that was up the road and buy a mask.

As you can see, I chose option 3 and now I'm sporting a cool retro mask.

Do I think a mask must or should be worn? It doesn't matter what I think. The business I chose to patron made it clear, No mask, no service. Out of respect for them, I went and got a mask. I was first in line, now I'm at the bottom of the list with only 45 minutes before they close.

​Who's at fault? No one. We all have choices, it's how we choose to react to our choice that makes a huge difference.

Here's my point - the two messages are very different, but there is a common denominator- tolerance and the acceptance of each other to make different choices. Like most of you, I'm tired of the politics; amateur medical experts who "read it on the Internet," and the fury over challenges that just shouldn't exist. 

Wishing everybody a terrific Sunday and a day when your priorities are in support of the people you love the most. Go for those eleven-second therapeutic hugs I often write about and make it a day when creating great memories is a priority!

Happy Sunday...or Monday if you're on the other side of the world.

And to my buddy "V" - nicely done buddy and there's very little in this world that beats Tom and Jerry!
