By controlling my attitude I will ensure
that every person I meet to-day will be,
up-lifted, inspired and happier for the meeting.
Everyone wants a sense of significance, to feel that they are important, that they matter. Now, we gain our sense of significance in two ways. Firstly through our connection with other people and secondly through our contribution to life.
Some people, unfortunately, try to gain a sense of significance by belittling others, to make themselves seem important by making others feel unimportant, to make themselves seem clever by making others appear stupid. This is very sad and such people are never very happy. They are constantly afraid that someone may find out that they are just bluff. I am sure that you know this kind of person, the kind of person who brightens up a room, by leaving.
You should develop your significance by helping people. Now the best thing that you can do for anyone is to help them to feel better about themselves and about life. Give each person you meet the greatest gift you can give them. Give them the gift of recognition, see past the label that society may have imposed upon them. See, and acknowledge, the person, the fellow human being, with whom you are dealing.
What would you like people to say about you when you leave? "Must you? Please come again soon" or "Thank goodness that's over". How would you like them to feel when they are expecting you? Would you like them to be excited and look forward to your visit? or feel "Oh no. I don't think I can face it."
Make this a challenge for life. Every day have a competition with yourself to see how many people you can positively influence. Give a smile, a kind word, a helping hand. Make this your daily affirmation "By controlling my attitude I will ensure that every person I meet to-day will be, up-lifted, inspired and happier for the meeting."
