Yesterday I was reminded of how just simple kindness and genuine listening are the best gifts you can give another person. As I worked my last day with my previous employer, I received numerous hugs and words of gratitude from the diverse group of people I worked with about how much they appreciated the way I treated them.
I didn't think I was doing anything exceptional, yet it touched so many people in such profound ways. I strive to live my life with intention and integrity and yesterday I felt reassured that the energy I offer is making a difference in many people's lives. I feel bursting with a feeling of inner contentment to know that what I aspire to give out is being received. It reaffirms for me that each of us can make a difference, every moment, of every day.
I am sure you all have examples of time when something seemingly insignificant had a significantly positive and meaningful impact on another.
Great story although I wonder why people never express those thoughts and emotions until a person leaves? How much better could the world be if we didn't wait until the end to share positive thoughts?
