#2 The Three Kinds of Business

Notice when you hurt that you are mentally out of your business. If

you're not sure, stop and ask, " Mentally, whose business am I in? "

There are only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours

and God's. Whose business is it if an earthquake happens? God's

business. Whose business is it if your neighbor down the street has

an ugly lawn? Your neighbor's business. Whose business is it if you

are angry at your neighbor down the street because they have an ugly

lawn? Your business. Life is simple. It's internal.

Count in five minute intervals, how many times you are in someone

else's business mentally. Notice when you give uninvited advice or

offer your opinion about something (aloud or silently.) Ask

yourself: " Am I in their business? Did they ask me for my advice? "

And more importantly, " Can I take the advice I am offering and apply

it to my life? "
