Challenge #2
The art of letting people know they matter!
Margaret passed away a few years ago. In her jewelry box, she had a handwritten note from a man she worked for in the early 1940's. She only worked for him for a few years, but told all of her family and friends that he had "mastered the art of letting people know that they matter." This is the note from that jewelry box. Notice the Initials: WC... Winston Churchill.
Will you practice this rare art for 7 days?
I've not mastered the art of letting people know they matter. Far from it. But... and this is a valuable "but"... try this challenge:
Over the next 7 days, pick 7 people and find a way to let them know how much they matter to you. You might have a coach or teacher from your high school, college, or even Little League. Put that person on the list. Perhaps you have a boss or family member that encouraged you or gave you tough feedback that you needed to hear. Put that person on the list. You may think of 7 people right away. Give each person a date THIS WEEK and find a way to let each person know they matter. It may be as simple as a text message, "Not sure I ever really told you this, but you changed the way I see the world. In that one conversation we had over cappuccinos, you challenged me to take more responsibility. I needed that. Thank you!" Give each person some thought time before deciding how you want to let them know they matter. You might bring that person a cup of tea and simply lock eyes for a few seconds before and after saying, "I appreciate you."
