WE UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A SMILE, A KIND WORD, A
LISTENING EAR, AN HONEST COMPLIMENT, OR THE SMALLEST
ACT OF CARING.
LEO BUSCAGLIA
A hasty response can sometimes come off badly to your recipients. Check over what you have written to see how you have expressed yourself. Take your time to think about your word choice and even the way you’ve punctuated a sentence to make sure your point can’t be misconstrued
In the age of social media and hundreds of online friends and ‘followers’, make the effort to cultivate deep and supportive friendships.
This one is easy and very effective. Listen closely to what your friend or loved one is saying. When responding, avoid shifting the focus back to your opinion or position and continue to engage with their point of view. It makes people feel good to be truly heard.
WE MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT WE GET, BUT WE MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT WE GIVE.....WINSTON CHURCHILL
Every journey through life is different; each has its own delays, bridges and obstacles – you never know what someone else is going through, or what effect your words or actions can have on others. Kindness costs nothing, and everyone is deserving of it.
