On “A Minute With Maxwell” John Maxwell spoke of how important it is to appreciate those around you. He said that what you appreciate, appreciates. You will never know if the person next to you is struggling to keep it together. A smile, a note, a word of appreciation can make a world of difference to that one person.
I can remember times in my life when I struggled and suddenly there was just one person who smiled at me and told me how much they appreciate my time, my listening ear, or just me as a support to their struggles. And, suddenly, I felt a surge of renewed energy. I have always made it a point to notice those around me and be supportive in any way possible. I challenge you to do the same. Appreciate those around you and make their day.
