I was getting coffee, I asked the man waiting on me, “How is your day going?” He replied, “It is going well. If I can help others, make their life a little better, within a 7-foot diameter around me, life is good.” Interesting concept. If we all helped one another 7 feet around us, I wonder how different our days would be? Making someone’s life a little better. Not focusing on how to make your life a little better. But someone else’s. So how do we do this it is often made up of a combination of physical, emotional, social connection, and a sense of purpose. It has to do with your attitude and choosing to make the most of the day, for happiness is an inside job. So, if this is true, the 7-foot concept could and would change your attitude and thought process. You would try to help those around you. You would smile when you are out and about. You would open a door for someone. You might even buy someone a coffee. When driving you would become more considerate of other drivers—7-foot rule. The Bible teaches that you should treat others with compassion, kindness, and humility, and to “love your neighbor as yourself—7-foot rule.” Matthew 7:12 reads, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” The Golden Rule. Colossians 3:12 says, “Clothe yourselves with gentleness and patience, and be kind to one another.” 7-foot rule. If you follow this 7-foot concept I think life would not only be better for you, but others as well. It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
