Imagine What A Year Could Be If….

Here’s Something New to Feel Good About Today!

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” Edith Lovejoy Pierce

The new year holds 365 days of opportunity for us to open our hearts more to others and see what comes of it.

An old saying comes to mind,”take the action and let go of the results.” I am going to try, what about you?

Imagine seeing everyone you meet as a potentially new friend. I am designating 2012 as my “Friendship Year.” I put a note on my bathroom mirror to greet everyone I meet with a smile, ask their name, and really listen to what they have to say. Share my approach, see if it helps to create an instant connection and you may well inspire others to do the same.

As I grow older I see the similarities among people. The more I open my heart to share, the more others open themselves to me. I have learned to take the initiative, to introduce myself by name first, to smile with less hesitation, to listen more and speak less. It’s not easy but I will keep trying.

I believe that everyone on this planet wants to feel that they matter. Let it begin as you and I open our hearts to simply acknowledge that basic human need we all share, to feel accepted and appreciated.
