Bethann Hardison Instagram – I am often told I am “cool”. When said to me, I wonder what does the person, who is saying it, what have they observed ? Often I am also told “I want to be you when I grow up”. Young and old have said as they marvel how I move through the life.
Perhaps I was destined to finesse myself through or was it through parental education, a good amount of life teacher exposing me to the basic rules for a better life. Not financially better per se but culturally.
Just the basic norms of how to behave. Trust me, knowing and having good manners can take
you a long way. Unfortunately
you perhaps know people who seem to be succeeding in their careers and do not have the good manners of a hog. Manners have amazing value.
That to me is being cool. Willi Smith, deceased designer, had that “it” factor, of great manners and elegant class. I always marveled at that, he was young and just knew all the right things to say and do.
To me that is the ultimate of cool.
Being able to hold a conversation at a dinner party, remember a name, sending flowers, a hand written note, a token of appreciation. To me these are the most basic things to elevate your life, moving forward.
Believe it or not comes great spiritual results. A person is happier internally.
Being kind, helping another for no other reason then the obvious, just being conscious and nice gestures.
It doesn’t get any more cool than that.
One thing for sure, everyone is not meant to be cool unfortunately, otherwise it wouldn’t be special.
But we all should try to be in the “cool club”. Efforts have perks.
These listed I would say are small pearls of wisdom. Consider its like breathing, good for your overall health.
*Elijah Cummings “the coolest” no doubt. Rest In Peace 🖤
