Although this falls under one of my pet peeves, it’s really about being inconsiderate – careless and often lazy acts of inconsideration. I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of a few – at least I know I have been. We can train ourselves to be more considerate though.

Instead of thinking about what’s best or easiest for us, we can think about how our words and actions affect others. Whatever is left on the ground can be stepped on and tracked who knows where. Abandoned shopping carts can scratch or even dent cars. And while we’re talking about pet peeves – what about pee on the toilet seat! Half of the readers probably can’t relate to this but it’s good to know what the other half can sometimes experience.

I’m sure many of you can add numerous items to the list but I think we can all agree – inconsideration stinks!

Instead of taking shortcuts, why don’t we all try going the extra mile? Look for ways to make someone else’s life a little easier and perhaps a little more pleasant. The inner satisfaction is well worth the effort.

I would love to hear how you’ve taken the time to make someone else’s life a little bit nicer.
