Knowing that his beloved, @kerrching, really wanted an iPad for her birthday, Magdalinski reached out to some friends in London who were not only able to get him an iPad (it’s not yet available in South Africa), but were also able to coat it and freeze it in chocoalte. Stefan Magdalinski is now the front-runner in the “Guy of the Year” award for buying his wife a chocolate-covered iPad for her birthday, which he managed to get sent to South Africa. Mashable
This just made me smile. Only a man would consider doing this and to go to this extreme for his woman, well, he could give lessons. So, I am basking in the Moment and enjoying the view. Loving Mr Stefan and actually have him up their on a Man -Pedestal when I am blog hopping, find Donald Miller's blog and find myself back to reality...
Now black and white thinkers are going to take this to an extreme and believe I am saying we should endorse any kind of bad behavior, but I’m not saying anything close to that at all. What I’m saying is we should stop thinking less of people and be better listeners. My guess is it will be very, very difficult, but I also think people are going to trust you more, be more open, and even invite you to give them some guidance about their decisions. Another thing that will happen is, by not judging them, you are ushering them into the extreme fear because THEY are responsible for their own actions, and you aren’t taking any ownership. You are just going to be their friend and want the best for them…. Donald Miller
Darn that Donald Miller anyway! Doesn't his calendar tell him it's summer and the living is suppose to be easy? The only reason this bothers me is that he is more than right and his challenge by his own admission, will be difficult but in the end, one could learn a whole lot about themselves.
Will you try an experiment with me. Will you open your calendar or your i-phone calendar and give a month to not judging. Seriously, just pick a date about 30 days from now and set an alarm saying you can judge people again, but until then, refrain from thinking less of anybody for any reason.
Calendar is marked for 30 days, here we go...
