A very wonderful client of mine- just shared a very timely and meaningful thought.
Perfect for Valentines Day.
VALENTINES DAY... LOVE YOUR OPINION ON THIS .
Being Loving Everyday.
Something to think about every-time any of us get a text ..or sends a text message
without a reply ... or no reply for a day, two days... or not at all.
My amazing, caring friend, warmly reminds his children that, "we make time for people and
things that are important to us" . That is so true... and instinctually we all know that.
So that made me think of the trends in "texting" .
Lately a lot of people, following societal trends have made it common to "Ghost People"
"Ghosting" refers to someone is completely ignored or blocked on your phone that you have been communicating with.
It is a hard core message of, "I could care less about you" .
The next level down from "Ghosting "is to ignore someone's text communication , but is that really okay ?? Is that a trend that represents you ?
On some level how we ... and others respond to our text, emails or messages either hurts someone or if it is a timely reply makes you feel cared for... or at least appreciated.
DO YOU AGREE Or DISAGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING ?
#1. GHOSTING - Blocking someone - indicates - You could care less about that person and ghosting them lets the other person know it.
"Ghosting" is sadly now, not uncommon, even for people who have dated or been intimate. When I say it's not un-common. in other words it's " average". When I sell homes, my clients never settle for "average" they always deserve, strive for ...and find the "exceptional". I am not a fan of "average". Not in homes or in life.
#2. Responding late - beyond normal, of course allowing for work, children pressing time etc, Indicates the friend or partner is not a high priority.
#3. Someone- Not responding to text unless it involves their needs or in their interest - Equals - It hurts! If you care about the person. And them saying ,
"I am not good at texting " - translates to any intelligent person, as just a lame excuse for not caring.. or not caring much. Because, we all know- if it is a super hot potential date texted or a money making opportunity came through or something they truly cared about... that person that is "not good at texting" would message right back and miraculously become a good texter.
Now days, A text is someone talking to you. To not respond, is a bit like, someone
talking to you and walking away.
So this Valentines day... I hope you will all show LOVE to everyone, I hope you will be exceptional in showing others you care. It means so much.
As I was writing this, I thought of a great personal trainer who I had the pleasure of working with in Scottsdale, Joshua, always, kindly takes the time to respond.. and usually with some cool insight or maybe it's just a friendly "thumbs up" . but his consistent thoughtfulness, says a great deal about him as a caring person and heck yes.. this is the type of individual you want training you.
The more kindness and love you share, the more of the same, you will attract. It is a law.
Happy Valentines.. Go share that good LOVE !!
Below are couple more great quotes
"I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I’ll put it before any of the things like courage, or bravery, or generosity, or anything else… Kindness—that simple word. To be kind—it covers everything, to my mind. If you’re kind that’s it."
ROALD DAHL
"No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted"
Aesop
