I was on brink of losing my cool when I noticed the small sticker on the cars rear.
It reads...
"Physically challenged; Please be patient.”
And that changed everything!! I immediately went calm and slowed down!!
In fact I got a little protective of the car and the driver.
I reached work a few minutes late, but it was oayk!
And then it struck me. Would I have been patient if there was no sticker!?
Why do we need stickers to be patient with people!?
Will we be more patient and kind with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads?
Labels like:
~ Lost my job
~ Fighting cancer
~ Going through a bad divorce
~ Suffering Emotional abuse
~ Lost a loved one
~ Feeling worthless
~ Financially messed up
.....and more like these.
Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about.
The least we can do is be patient and kind.
We don't have to put people through the pressures of explaining over times before we understand their pains and offer our little best.
As you go through each passing day always remember there's an invisible label on everyone.
A simple virtue of patience may just be the respect you're according that invisible label.

May we all remember that everyone is carrying on a silent battle unknown to others. In the middle of the chaos of life, the simple yet profound act of patience and kindness can serve as a beacon of light in someone's darkness. Rather than subjecting others to the burden of repeatedly explaining their struggles, let us extend empathy and compassion without judgment.
By offering a listening ear, a gentle touch, or a caring gesture, we can create a space of understanding and support where healing begins. In a world where battles are fought unseen, let our actions speak volumes of love, acceptance, and solidarity
