5 minutes of caring

Strangers With Benefits

by Sam Davidson (Tuesday, July 24, 2007)

Give 'em a break!

Today, as you interact with others, give them the benefit of the doubt. It's something we all would love from others – so why not set the trend and offer it first? Whether you're on the line with customer service or having a chat with your mother, cut people some slack. You never know who's had a bad day, who's faced something unexpectedly, and who's been dumped (or dumped on). Be cool and chill out when talking to complete strangers or close friends. We're sure that you'll get better reactions and your meetings and conversations will be much more pleasant.

This thought really helped yesterday on a trip to the TN Aquarium with my mother and daughters. Perfect timing...thanks!

I try to do this all the time. Not only for "them", but it is a personal benefit. If you don't consider other circumstances, you tend to pesonalize many things that really have nothing to do with you.
