This is easy to do, and the choice is yours.

This is the first half of a quote that a friend of mine posted on Facebook. What this means is that the way you make others feel after they’ve interacted with you is your trademark—the distinguishing characteristic of how you become known. As Maya Angelou put it, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This being the case, I would like each of you to join me this week and reflect on the way you make others feel after they’ve interacted with you and then ask yourself the question, “Is this the “trademark” that I want the world to know me as?” This is where the second half of the Facebook quote comes into play: “Leave them with a smile, a hug and a kind thought.” This is easy to do, and the choice is yours.
