Maya Angelou got it right ... “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maybe just like me this is a lesson that came to Lady Maya later in her life but I hope that by sharing this bit of wisdom with you NOW, it might save you time and help you build stronger relationships as of today and always.
So go on and be quiet then observe and listen to those around you. Whether they are chatting with you in person, posting on Facebook or sending you a text. In return offer kind words and gestures. Do not quickly jump in with words that perpetuate grief, negativity & pity in hopes to turn the attention from them to you. Go out there with a servant's heart and help someone feel better, loved, cherished, appreciated, welcomed, understood, inspired ... be good to someone. Be the type of person that Maya talks of ... be remembered for how you made them {feel}!
