Go Ahead!

May 16, 2017 by AChuckAllen


Go Ahead with ACHUCKAllen

In a world of cynicism, plurality, greed, hate and bigotry, you can grow pretty hardened to what’s going on around you. 

I know folks that are so jaded to one or more platforms, parties, positions, or colors, they cannot even communicate graciously or mercifully. It’s not easy to be a person of simple kindness in 2017. 

In the rapid fire land of social media, angry newscasts and senseless violence, the easiest way to respond is to join the fray – Join the hate-talk – Jump in the argument, or blister somebody from behind a keyboard or a smartphone. 

I do not want to join that mob. I do not want to be a hater.  Let’s not jump on the bandwagon of angry, hate-filled, over-politicized critics. I say, Go Ahead an opt out! As Nancy Reagan once said, “Just Say No.”

So, Go Ahead!

  • Go Ahead and delete that hater from your feed. 
  • Go Ahead and lay down that offense. 
  • Go Ahead and forgive. 
  • Go Ahead and leave a kind note. 
  • Go Ahead and sing out loud. 
  • Go Ahead and be gracious when you are treated poorly. 
  • Go Ahead and offer that compliment. 
  • Go Ahead and don’t take the bait in that gossip string. 
  • Go Ahead and let somebody else have their way. 
  • Go Ahead and love your neighbor that’s a different color or party than you are. 
  • Go Ahead and offer an olive branch. 
  • Go Ahead and ask for forgiveness. 
  • Go Ahead and be happy today. 
  • Go Ahead and love Jesus AND be normal! 

Just GO AHEAD! 

Okay! I feel so much better.
