Think About This

Who have you helped lately?  How have you helped lately? Who have you encouraged lately?   Has any one encouraged you? If so how did you thank them? What are you thankful for thus far?  What blessings, good fortune, or wonderful event has happened and changed your life?  Do you celebrate only the big events in your life or do you include the small milestones as well?

Find something to be thankful for. Make a conscious decision not to complain today. Go out of your way to help someone...receive help from someone if you are very prideful...Make a positive change today. Be Nice and Positive Today.

Sometimes a kind word to someone or just genuinely listening to someone as they express themselves can make a difference in someones life.  Simple etiquette is not dead, people appreciate it...simple gestures such as a smile; a simple greeting, "How are you today". (Now when greeting someone don't ask if you really are not concerned, instead just say "Hello...Good Afternoon...etc)...I recently helped an elderly woman carry something to her vehicle and I said..."Travel safely"...she replied, "You too"...I walked away thinking how insincere...I am not travelling anywhere....lol 

It's the small things that we say or do that makes a difference in how your sincerity is received.  Make a conscious decision to be nice and considerate to someone...use your manners and be cordial.

  1. This is so very true people don't think about what they're saying they open their mouth and let words of know importance come out. In this case the correct thing for the lady to say was "you have a nice day". We need to learn to listen when others are speaking so that we can truly response with heartfelt answer. This has truly made me listen and only say what I truly mean. Thanks for enlighten me
