STory time
So, after a LONG week at Beachbody's Coach Summit, I was so excited to get home and just chill. I get off the plane and go to baggage claim only to find that I am short one bag. I wait till the very last bag comes out...but NOPE...it still ain't there. So, I go over to the American Airlines counter and they basically tell me I am S.O.L. (if you aren't sure what that means, Google it). They make me fill out a claim, which I then have to try to remember what the heck we packed in that bag because in case you don't know, I have a bit of a sneaker problem and bought a lot of them while we were in Vegas for all the workouts, performances, and events. So, we rearrange things and move stuff around and do the best we can to recount what we remember was in the bag. At the end of the day, we had to go home without all of our stuff and just hope and pray that somehow, some way, the bag would be recovered. [blockquote]If you were to accidentally take someone else’s bag—or pick up anything that you later realized wasn’t yours—would you not do the decent human thing and do your best to get it back to its rightful owner?[/blockquote] Well, guess what? After investigation by the airlines, we finally hear back now that the bag made it on our plane in Vegas, then off our plane at JFK, and it even arrived to baggage claim...BUT...someone picked up our bag, and of course, once they realized it wasn't theirs, they did the honorable thing and returned it. NOT! They did NOT return it. DID NOT! I want you to think about that for a minute. If you were to accidentally take someone else's bag—or pick up anything that you later realized wasn't yours—would you not do the decent human thing and do your best to get it back to its rightful owner? I mean, really?! Shoot, keep the contents for that matter but return it to the airport so the bag can be returned to its rightful owner. [blockquote]Things are things and they can be replaced. But when something is taken from you, it's such a violation![/blockquote] It seriously saddens me to think that there are people in this world who are not more honest. Yes, things are things and they can be replaced. But when something is taken from you, it's such a violation! It's the principle of the matter, and it really shows a breakdown in the human morality chain somewhere. I trust and believe in you. I know that when faced with a decision you will always choose the moral high road. So, let's get into it and talk STandards—what are yours and what are you seeing in your world that either inspires you or makes you want to FIX humanity?The post The STandards of lost luggage appeared first on Shaun T.
