Courteous


What does it mean to be courteous?  Are we always courteous to those around us, home and work?  It seems so easy to be discourteous in the fast paced world we live in.  Consider the definition.

Cour - te - ous
Adj. Characterized by gracious consideration toward others. 1: exhibiting courtesy
and politeness; "a nice gesture" [syn: gracious, nice] 2: characterized by courtesy
and gracious good manners.


Gracious consideration!  Think about that the next time traffic is frustrating you, or the guy in front of you at Starbucks is ordering 12 drinks!  Think about being intentionally courteous, it is a simple behavior that can positively impact your relationships on an everyday basis.  Think about it in the business world and perhaps even more importantly at home.  For some reason we easily forget to be kind and courteous to those we love.  
Be courteous this week!
