The Golden Rule

Alright so supposedly I am spoiled. Now when I think of spoiled I think of people who always get their way, have tantrums when things don’t go how they want them to, and always get what they want. You know basically brats. Well I always said since I don’t always get what I want and I don’t have tantrums I am not spoiled. I can’t deny the fact that people do things for me fairly often nor can I deny that when I want things to happen they usually do. People have said I have an, “uncanny” way of getting what I want. People have also said that I am a master of persuasion. I don’t agree and I don’t think I’m spoiled. I think I am very deserving of whatever people do for me.

1.       I consider myself to be a nice person.

 Some people think I am super nice but I think I’m just regular nice. I don’t go above and beyond when doing things for others. I simply treat people the way I want to be treated. I know that it’s so elementary but it is always in the forefront of my mind when interacting with others. I expect people to be nice to me so I’m nice to them.

2.        I don’t expect anything from anyone.

 When people do things for you it’s because they want to not because they have to. I think I make it very clear that I understand this. Granted almost every time Marcel and I go to dinner he pays. But I know he doesn’t have to. He does it because he wants to.

3.        I am appreciative

I am so grateful for everything people do for me. I try to make sure people know their kind acts are greatly appreciated.

So yes it is true I get my way a lot; people do nice things for me often. But it’s not because I’m spoiled. It’s because I do nice things for people and in return people do nice things for me. It is true friends, you reap what you sow!
