It has been a while since I posted and completed a thirty day / monthly challenge. Since finding this site I have made some real positive changes in my life - even I'm surprised at my dedication, but I'm loving the changes I see in myself.

For the month of July the challenge I will complete is:

1. I will workout at least 30 minutes per day - (mon thru sat)
2. I will bring my lunch to work - (mon thru thurs)
3. I will wake up before 6:30am - (mon thru fri)

" just to put arrogant and rude people in their place"

I don't think arrogant and rude people are interested in how you treat them as they're usually a bit self centered. Perhaps the next time someone is rude to you or you feel they're being rude to you, just ask them in a calm voice "why are you being rude to me"? The majority of time people don't realize they're being rude but your comment brings it to their attention and also lets them know you will not tolerate being spoken to in a rude tone, etc.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and common courtesy.
