This week, I learned valuable lessons from taking out the recycling bin. ♻️🗑️
I put it out, expecting it to be picked up, but it wasn't. Noticed my neighbor's bin was out and not picked up either. At first, I got a bit upset. 😠
But then, I took a deep breath to calm down and decided to double-check the pickup schedule.
Turns out, I had the wrong day. Recycling is every two weeks, and it wasn't due yet. Looks like my neighbor just followed my lead and put theirs out too early as well. 😳
This small event taught me valuable lessons:
✅ Always check the facts before getting worked up. It's easy to assume or react quickly. But a simple step back and a quick check can save a lot of unnecessary stress.
✅ It also reminded me how our actions can influence others, even in small ways. So, let's make sure we're leading by good example, starting with the simple things.
