Good day to you all.
I have written about how we can have a positive or a negative effect on others.
Someone may be having a bad day, but you holding a door open, saying “thank you”, of just giving a person a kindly look and a smile may make all the difference to turn that bad day into a good day.
Sometimes we need to put ourselves into the “shoes” of the other person. How do we feel when someone offers us a kindness? It just may mean that we MATTER. Someone has recognized us.
I know it sounds like a little thing, but it can make or break the day for that other person.
Leo Buscaglia, the motivational speaker, gives us this thought. “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential of turning a like around.”
Have a safe and blessed day.
Peace and All Good
