Lesson 214: What You Say to Others

Today is all about being aware of what we say and do. Do you realise how your actions and words impact those around you? Are you also aware of what you don’t say and do impacts others? The task is to actually give someone a compliment today. The added challenge is to choose someone you don’t know, maybe you don’t even particularly like this person or they make you feel uneasy, but it’s about taking that chance to see how you affect others.

I interacted with a lot of people and I did pay compliments to people I see every day or most days. I did give a compliment to a hairdresser that I went to that I had never been to before. She moved from Japan 2 months ago and now lives in Melbourne. I said that her Ylang Ylang head massage that she gave me was really nice. She was so appreciative. She also placed my hair in the style I wanted and actually told me that it was the first time she has ever cut hair in this style – I said it looked good and she was happy. Not sure if she was polite, but she did say “really?” in which I responded “yes”.

It didn’t take much to be nice to someone and have them brighten up with a smile. I think we take for granted how our energy can impact others. Just small compliments can turn around someone else’s day. If we all took time to do this every day, it can definitely make a world of difference.

Now, all we got to do is spread this notion around so then everyone can be bright in their days. All we need to do is spread a little bit of love.
