People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. – Anonymous
I tend to operate from a mindset that makes me think people will remember me for what I say or do. I wonder, though, whether it makes for a positive outlook on life to be constantly thinking about how to make people feel good. I probably don’t have to worry, though, since I’ve lived my life more focused on doing and saying things to impress people, not to make them feel good. This quote is a poke to remind me otherwise. Since I read it over the weekend, I’ve been more cognizant in my casual contacts with people, asking myself, “What could I say that’s genuine that would make this person feel good?” Not a usual thing for me.
