What a difference WE could make TOGETHER if we were to go back to the basics of the simple key elements of saying, "Please and Thank You." Do you remember when you were young and your parents or guardian would say, “What do you say?” And your response was, “Please” or “Thank you!”
I was taught to always say please, thank you and to be kind. If we looked hard enough, we would definitely see kindness all around the world. However, unfortunately we would also see the opposite. I’ve witnessed lately the lack of respect, those kind words or even respecting someone when they are talking. Interrupt
When my children were growing up, I taught them to put their hand on my elbow, which would indicate to me while I was talking to someone else, that they had something important to share, but they knew they couldn’t interrupt me unless someone was hurt.
It sounds so easy, or even trivial, but it was something that worked for us and showed everyone respect.
We are in a world where I see people who NEED to be heard NOW; to NEED to get the results they want NOW; who NEED to understand the why NOW; and who NEED to know the process NOW.
Sometimes we just don’t NEED to know right now. Sometimes the best results happen to us when we are patient and enjoy the unfolding, and/or the process.
Remember the key elements of respect, kindness, love and patience can change everything and anyone.
If we could teach each other through our own words and actions that it doesn’t cost any amount of money to say please, thank you, and BE KIND, share kindness, then what a beautiful world we would live in.
Connect with me if you’re struggling with the basics, trying to find ways to be heard, valued or respected.
It’s time for us to stand up, get back to the basics and say PLEASE, THANK YOU, BE KIND, RESPECTFUL, LOVING, CARING and COMPASSIONATE and TOGETHER we can make this world a better place.
