Respect vs. Entitlement: Why Modern Civility is Vanishing | Breathe Podcast Ep 280

Описание: Is politeness becoming a lost art in our modern, fast-paced world? In this episode of Breathe, we explore why making politeness your new normal is essential for building healthy relationships and opening doors of opportunity.

Join us as we discuss the noticeable decline in civility across generations and social media. They dive into the spirit of entitlement and how it closes doors professionally and relationally. A major highlight of this conversation is the challenge of giving our first fruits of kindness to strangers while bringing only the remnants of our patience home to our families.

We also address the misconception that being polite means being weak. Learn how to set firm boundaries and lead with authority without sacrificing a gentle and affable spirit. Whether it is digital decorum in a chat room or showing respect to those who serve us, your disposition is a key part of your witness.
