How are you?
It isn’t enough to just walk by someone and nod a greeting. Both of you keep going totally obvious to the opportunity of meeting someone new. I am not saying that everyone you encounter on daily basis is ok, you have to rely on your own moral compass for that, but every now and then stop and say hello, how are you doing?
On an average day I may speak to over 50 or so people, the exception being my seminars. And I have come to the conclusion that most people are lost too. Just like me. Since we aren’t privy to the good Lord’s plans, we just wander around life. In the way the Indians circled the wagons.
I think we need to stop a moment and look at the people that cross our path. For example, the other day I met an engaging older lady at the gift shop. She had an affectionate manner about her, but professional as well. We struck up a conversation that lasted a good half hour. We talked as if we were old dear friends. When I left the gift shop I reflected that if I done what I normally do and just nod and walk by I would not have had a pleasant morning and a reminder that we are all in this life together.
So I challenge you, dear friends, to say hello more often, smile every day and try to remember that just one nice thing you do could make someone’s day brighter.
Have a Great Day!!!!!
