"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 to turn a life around."
~Leo F. Buscaglia
Good morning!
I was traveling a while ago and I gave up my seat to a
family who wanted to sit together and ended up sitting next to two
friends who have been friends for over 40 years and giddy with
excitement for their upcoming vacation. The experience reminded
me of today's quote and how life has a funny way of reminding you of
how a simple hello can turn any day into one to remember.
Have you seen the movie (or read the book) The Five People You Meet in
Heaven? I strongly suggest reading the book. To me, one of the most
fascinating concepts was how we can have a DRAMATIC influence on each
other's lives -- and often, we don't even know it.
Without giving away the "crux" of the story, the main character met
five people whom he had a dramatic impact on. Interestingly, he didn't
even know the name of some of the individuals.
A few years ago, I received a call from a young publisher. She had
entered into the field and was realizing great success after meeting me
at a seminar. Another time, I received a very touching e-mail,
spurred by a simple gesture that I wouldn't have thought twice
about doing. It turned out this gesture had been a lifeline at a very
trying time for this person.
Your turn: As you go throughout your day,
remember that all the things you DO and all the things you DON'T do
have a major impact on those around you. What legacy are you going to
create today?
Your affirmation: Today, I recognize each
opportunity to act with caring and kindness. I live (and will leave) a
legacy of love.
And
as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt "Something great is going to happen today... I
can't wait to see what it is!"
And
when ending your day ask yourself, "What is one
more thing I can do to make today matter?"
