Monday Motivation - The Power of Hello
Every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence. Speak to everyone you meet. Speaking to those you meet creates a pathway into their world. It lets them come into your world too. The words “Hello,” opens doors to conversations. It calms nerves. It creates a feeling of being part of a group. As we begin our day today, don’t forget to make an impact on a child, or an adult, that can set the tone for the day. It starts with a simple ”hello, good morning.”
It’s nice to feel noticed and acknowledged. A nod, a smile, and a warm “good morning” will uplift you in a way you would never imagine. Even if it’s not reciprocated, knowing you’re radiating positivity and friendliness will fill you with
joy for the rest of your day.
