A lot of people think they’re courteous. A lot of people feel like they’re mindful.

But I’ve got to tell you, most people aren’t.

When I was walking through LAX airport, I was in the bathroom.

First off, I can tell you there’s nothing more disgusting than going into a men’s room at 8:00 in the morning and every single stall is closed.

You almost have to literally take a deep breath before you go in there and hope and pray you’ve got some lavender oil that you can smell on a tissue.

It was super crowded by the washers and sinks.

People were having a lot of trouble getting through.

This guy looks at me and I let him go, and he goes thank you. And I looked at him and I said you’re welcome.

Mindfulness. Mindfulness is so amazing.

Saying I’m sorry.

Saying thank you.

Saying excuse me.

People make fun of the Brits all the time because when the Brits get very mindful and polite they’re always saying sorry and excuse me.

But it really is a trait that most people don’t practice nowadays. Most people walk around with their head and perpetual blow job necks, head cranked down.

Picture this. Head cranked down, staring at no, not their groin or someone else’s groin, but their phone.

Most people get annoyed when they need to let people go by them. Most people just kind of pull their way through and think they live in a world of their own.

Mindfulness is one of the greatest traits that we can have as a human being. Being mindful is really important in order for our species to survive.

We’re here in the world, constantly having to deal with other people, constantly having to say excuse me, constantly having to be aware of what other people are doing.

How many times have you caught yourself on your handy dandy phone, looking down and around, but didn’t realize well, that there was someone behind you in a car, honking at you.

How many times have you been caught on your phone walking slowly and people have to had to well say excuse me to get around you.

Being aware of other people is how we’re going to co-exist. Being mindful is how we’re going to succeed as a culture. Practice mindfulness every day. Realize you’re not the only one around. Realize your relationship with your phone or yourself needs to be literally…

Literally put aside.

Say thank you to people when they hand you food.

Say excuse me when you get in someone’s way. When you’re at a traffic light, be mindful that there are other people behind you in cars. Don’t sit there and try to catch up on texts or e-mails.

Practice mindfulness every single day because I have found that most people are not as mindful as they think they are, and that’s how we’re going to co-exist in this crazy world we call Earth.
