Saying nice things


Many, many times we think of saying something nice.
.
But then somehow we don't do so.
.
Sometimes we even think we have done so when in reality we only thought to do so.
.
Then again other times we were too busy.
.
Other things came up in the conversation instead.
.
As important as the spoken word is, the unspoken word can become even more important.
.
How often have you regretted not telling someone how much you loved or admired him or her?
.
How often have you regretted not thanking someone for a kindness? 
.
How often have you regretted not picking up the telephone to congratulate someone or to express sympathy?
.
If you were to add up all the times you could or should have said something nice it might be a rather large number.
.
Life is made up of thousands of encounters. 
.
Some are lasting and some are quick, but all of them are important. 
.
No matter how brief the encounter, it leaves an impression. 
.
A touch no matter how light is still a touch.
.
Imagine if we all said nice  things to at least five people a day
.
And if they all did the same.
.
Exponentially we would soon have a happier planet
.
So why don't we?
.
Are we frightened to say nice things, like they are too dangerous?
.
Living in a big city as many of us do smiling is something weirdos do.
.
Time we started work on consciously changing this
.
Make your start today.
.
There is never a wrong time to do the right thing.
.
A word of encouragement is always welcomed.
.
If we really want the world to be a friendlier place, it starts with us. 
.
We can change the world
.
It is an opportunity open to all of us rich and poor the wealthiest among us or the poorest. 
.
Don't miss the opportunity to brighten someone's day. 
.
The return on your investment is really really quick. 
.
You will feel better!
