~:[CH13 - Day 130]:~ Services (Not) Rendered

I have a friend in the Philippines who occasionally is looking for particular collectibles he cannot get there. It actually kind of fun because I used to watch the WWE (formerly WWF) and I like to see how things have changed since I watched it. I got a little upset today as I mailed a package with the items and it wasn't delivered. Since I didn't get insurance, I figured the items were a lost cause, but thought they'd easily refund my delivery fee since they didn't complete the delivery. I was wrong. I kept getting the response, there's nothing I can do. The service was not rendered, yet I was still responsible for the costs since I didn't get insurance. It made no sense. While I ultimately found another way, it made me think, in our own lives, are we delivering the services we are suppose to, the way we should? I think that in most cases, I finish my delivery, however, I also think about, did I do it well? With work, with family, and with friends, I constantly think, am I doing the job I should be doing? In some cases, it's not a requirement for us to do something. However, at the end of the day, can we look back and what we did and be satisfied with how we did things? If not, I hope that we can fix it down the road. I've worked on doing this from time to time and hope that it's a regular habit so I don't become what got me so upset today. In the end, I was happy to see that my second attempt at sending the package succeeded and it's definitely a reminder that we may not always get it right the first time, but if we make the efforts, we can ensure that we deliver in the end.
