The first time my wife and I had a meal at the Brown Derby restaurant, I was so impressed with the cleanliness and order of the place. After enjoying some delicious bread I noticed bread crumbs on the table cloth. It felt distracting and took away from the pleasant experience. Our server came by, saw the mess of crumbs, and immediately cleaned them up. I could then relax and enjoy my meal. I was surprised that something as simple as those crumbs could have that much of an impact on my experience.
Our lives are like this dining experience. As we go about our daily lives, we drop crumbs of poor choices, mistakes and out right blinders. These crumbs clutter the table of our lives and makes life unpleasant. Wipe up the crumbs quickly by recognizing your mistakes. Take action to correct the problem and apologize to others if needed. By the end of the day, people around you will appreciate you in spite of your mistakes and you can then relax and enjoy your life.
