01.09.14 Everyday there are people that need to be inspired, encouraged, and value needs to be added to them. Not to the degree of babying an adult or coddling someone that is not doing their job. But on the side of genuinely adding value to a few individuals through out the day.
Where can you start?
Start with believing in yourself, your family, and then move to your friends and coworkers.
Be genuine!
If you can't find anyway to add value to someone it's probably best to keep you mouth shut and simply smile.
Value that contains BS, feels like BS, and is received as BS. Truth be told every one of us has experienced the facade or masquerade of un-genuine statements.
One of my past employers would attempt to encourage and value to individual's during a staff meetings. It's a great concept or idea; however, it came across as somewhat emotional, sappy, and very un-genuine. At the end of the day employees feel belittled vs appreciated or valued.
Bottom line: in order to add value to someone you must be genuine!
I for one am tired and sickened by the facade and sappy masquerading dance that is played.
Where can you start if you honestly struggle with genuinely adding value to others? (Some people do as they've played the game so long)
Start small but start now!
In other words start by finding value in the moment: a sunset, a nice meal, running water, or a flushing toilet! As you start to find value in the moment you'll be that much closer to being able to see the potential and value in others.
