Treating Everyone with Respect

Gatekeeper ordained as a door opener linked to your destiny

Don’t be too busy for people “underneath you.” Don’t deny them the time of day, treat everyone with respect & honor They are brought Xcross your path for a reason

Raghunatha Das Goswami

Try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master, Inquire form him submissively and render service unto Him. The self realized soul can impart knowledge to you because he has seen the truth Gita 3/34

Easy to Dismiss People not give them the time of day UNDER us not important parking cars, answering the phone “I’m in management, they’re in maintenance.” I’m staying at the hotel, they’re just working at the hotel.”

Promotion Comes from Krishna Lot of times the influential people we are playing up to are not gatekeepers. Gatekeepers are not who we would expect. Promotion doesn’t come from people, comes from God. Bruce Nagel

5th grade Miss Thompson taught Teddy Stallard Gatekeepers for each other

Each Others’ Gatekeepers So he said, statistically speaking in the next 2-3 years… two of your marriages will have broken up and the shame will cause you to leave the church, three of you will have a conflict with someone in the church and you will leave the church, one will have a tragedy and lose faith and leave, two will have a moral failing and leave, and two will lose interest and drift away. In two to three years, out of this group only two of you will be attending church, and only one of you at this church. There was dead silence in the room. All these wide eyed Christians were about to say “surely not I, Lord.” When one of them spoke up and said What can we do to change the statistics. The pastor said, you can get together and as a group decide that you are not going to let anyone go. T

Maturity How we treat someone we don’t think can help us Can all be nice to the boss, cheerleader, athelete But if we want to meet our true gatekeepers, need to learn to be good to everyone

Categorize How often do we miss a gatekeeper because we divide friends enemies, neutral parties. Krishnas ways and ends are different. Not only nice cause they are God’s children, but the ones Xcross our path are divinely linked to our destiny.

Pay Attention Your destiny not just between you and God but is tied in to the people who come xcross your path When you realize that every person could be a gatekeeper, a link, it is easy to treat everyone with respect & honor. When you made people feel loved, respected, & appreciated, going to meet your gatekeepers. When you take time to help others, helping yrself. When you are good to people, you are sowing seeds.
