What’s the worst that could happen if you do what you feel doubtful about? Is that something you can deal with? Then do it! Most of our worries are a waste of time.
Hold the door for someone or thank them for something most people wouldn’t notice. Extend a small courtesy and watch the effect.
A small gesture from you could be a big gesture to someone else. Reach out.
Commit yourself to making lots of mistakes. Mistakes teach you important lessons. If you go ahead with your decision, either you succeed or you learn something.
Do you believe that if you don’t get it done exactly right the first time, you will fail and all efforts will be lost? Less than perfect is a perfect start – then build on it.
Choose a different way. Be a noticer and a doer. Someone needs for you to remind them they are great. Go and make a difference!
If you’re trying to get through to someone, take time to understand how they like to be spoken to so that you can talk with them effectively, in their language.
If you feel like you’re not being heard, try saying it in a different way. If your current approach isn’t effective, try something else.
Today, don’t be surprised if you are given the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. It will be easy to miss, or even ignore. Don’t!
“When we seek to make a difference in someone else’s life, the biggest difference occurs in us.” – Randy Gravitt
