Playing in the right sandbox

Think about your life today and the people who surround you. Imagine those people sharing your sandbox. How well do you play together? Are you each engaged in your own play unaware of those around you? Are you playing with one other person to the exclusion of the others who occupy your sandbox? Is everyone competing and fighting over the toys in the sandbox arguing that what is present is exclusively theirs? Are you having fun playing in this sandbox or is it time to consider finding a new one? Maybe it is time to seek out a sandbox in which each person respects your presence and cooperates in the play that ensues. Each person knows that there is enough to go around and that. if they are patient, their turn to play with the toys will come. Imagine the participants laughing and sharing rather than yelling and quarreling. There would be little, if any, stress present. No one would want to leave the sandbox. How does your life today compare with the circumstances described? Is it time to decide if you are playing in the right sandbox and what will you do if you aren't?
