Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Are You Normal or Are You Good?

When I was a child I often heard grown-ups say that if we just had a good person as President, the problems in America could be easily solved.

Then Jimmy Carter was elected and he was an outsider to Washington DC politics who couldn’t get anything done. While his record as a President is debatable, his record as a good person who led a life of service isn’t. He and his wife Rosalynn gave countless hours to Habitat for Humanity, though not throwing gala events as most dignitaries would…they got dressed in work clothes and helped build houses.

An early crusader against segregation, he earned the United Nations Human Rights prize and the Nobel Peace Prize. This “good man” once said, “The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.”

Fear and prejudice are normal human feelings – not admirable, just normal. It’s a choice in how we focus that allows us to keep them from driving our words and actions. That elevates us from ordinary human to good person. In honor of Jimmy Carter, will you focus on being a good person today?
