Are You Building People Up, Or Knocking Them Down?

As human beings one of our most essential needs beyond water, food and shelter, is to be loved. We are consistently in need of human connection and interaction to motivate and lift us up. We also have the profound power to make or break other people’s days with our words and actions. With this said, it should be our daily challenge to inspire, motivate and encourage others. Here are some ways in which you can do just that:

  • Treat people with kindness, or as your mother always said, “Treat people the way you would want to be treated.” People tend to have a better response and demeanor when you use kindness and understanding as your method of communication.
  • Celebrate with people. Jealously can be a key obstacle in finding happiness in other peoples achievements. Remove jealousy and find the warmth in celebrating the joys of another persons life with them.
  • Learn how to listen. Most everyone is good at talking, but there are few who have the natural ability to really and truly listen. Listening is a gift which reflects a sense of caring and selflessness.
  • Do not judge. There is often more depth to people than what is at the surface. Before you judge, get to know who they are and what the motivating factors are behind their actions.

This Letter is for You

Have you ever found a note, maybe it was stuck beneath your windshield wipers, or gently pushed underneath a crack in your door, or maybe you received a secret Valentine. Even if you have never received a secret note, you mostly likely have had a stranger do something unexpectedly kind. Do you recall how you felt in that moment? Maybe you felt an extra oomph of happiness, or maybe it brought a wave of calm to a stressful and trying day.

Brooklyn artist, Liz Medina is doing exactly this with her Eternally Yours project. Medina tucks letters into unsuspecting places: on grocery shelves, bathrooms, carts, phone booths, benches and folded between shirts at clothing shops. Each letter contains a special note of love, and a call to action. Medina asks each letter finder to respond to the letter by including a pre-paid envelope.

Medina has received a number of responses back which you can see on her Eternally Yours website. The project has done so well, she is now receiving help from people in other states. Her only goal you might ask? To ignite joy and mystery in the lives of strangers.
