Our rewards in life will always match our services - Earl Nightingale

Ok, also put, "whatsoever you sow, so shall you reap." 

This blog is about positive attitudes to change the way we live... in that vein listening to more of Earl Nightingale on the very topic was very refreshing.

He said that looking at any neighbourhood one would be able to see the type of people that live there. The service they give to the neighbourhood reflects in the way it looks.

He went further to note that richer areas always seem neat and tidy and well kept, while the yards of the persons who are unemployed seem rather unkept.. looking at the contrast those who have the time do not utilize it in their appearances.

That was a hard-hitting fact, but a fact nonetheless.

Today puts us another day way from Hurricane Matthew, a category 4 storm is forecast at this moment to hit Grand Bahama by Thursday. Late last week it was set to miss us and as it moves on its snail's pace, it is constantly changing direction. 

It is has wrecked havoc on a number of Caribbean countries so far and is over Haiti as I write.
My fear is the rebuilding more than the storm itself. As was noted by a fellow writer, this island appears to take very long to recover from most misfortunes and so far is still affected by the hurricanes of 2004/2005 (Frances, Jeanne and Wilma).
So the question was asked, what can be put in place right away to deal with whatever damage is caused by this storm if it does touch near the island. 
Mindsets should be turned to repairs and moving on instead of dwelling on the feelings endured during the event and what everyone was doing. 
It's good to make note of what went wrong/right, but more than that it is important to keep moving. Pauses should be short as they are not full stops if you are still alive.
