 "Taking People for Granted": the Anecdote

A young sales representative took time out during her coffee break to make a call from a public phone booth.

She rang a number and asked to speak to the Sales Director. 

"Could you tell me if the position you advertised some time ago is still vacant?" she asked. There was a pause. "Oh, it's gone. Pardon? You hired someone three months ago and they're doing fine. OK. Sorry to have bothered you. Goodbye."

A caller at the next phone booth couldn't help overhearing and offered her sympathy to the young woman.

"Never mind, dear. I'm sure you'll get something soon, " she said.

"Oh, no, " said the young lady. "That was my own company I was ringing. I just wanted to know how I was doing."

P.S :What can I be grateful for in this moment ??

 

What would it take for us to be more mindfully grateful for the many things in life that we tend to take for granted ?

If there is one thing that has come to my awareness more than anything else in life….it is ….

Never to take anyone/anything for granted…..including myself.(This last bit is a  challenge…because I have taken myself for granted for the better part of my life and have allowed others to do the same…….but I am working on it…I truly am…………)
