The signs that you have major class are not only about the materialistic things. It’s also about your attitude, style and your taste in life.
Having major class is not just about how much money you have or how many things you own. It’s also about how you live your life and what kind of person you are.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized mindfulness is key. It’s important to remind yourself every day, every hour, to behave mindfully and respectfully. Pause before answering questions. Breathe before you get emotionally upset. Take a walk every day and spend time taking care of your physical and mental health. Make yourself hard to access unless people earn it. These lessons come with experience and age but watching these lessons helps reinforce those lessons.
I remember back to my first time in Paris. Everyone on the metro was polite, even though it was very crowded. I describe it as a beautiful dance. People slipping past others in a graceful manner. In NYC, it s a full on contact sport. People (men and women) derive great joy from pushing and hitting others and excuse it as “it’s crowded, what are you going to do? 🤷🏾♀️”. I’ve had plenty of men full on body check me. I dont wait in line for anything, not the store, not the train, bus, airport, nothing. I always hang back, let people fight, push, get aggravated then I step on. Or I wait for the next train, there is always another train. When I fly, I sit far from my gate and watch with great bemusement the people anxiously lining up around the check in counter, jumping to get in line first, to stand around and wait. My seat is confirmed and only I can sit in it. I’m the last person to board and because of this I get my bag checked for free 😎. When we land, I smile as everyone is jumping up to just stand there. Lol. I’m the last to leave, my luggage is waiting for me and I enjoy a nice peaceful walk.
My peace is priceless.
Proper decorum is being lost because it is viewed as old fashioned It breaks my heart
