So, I feel like we’ve talked about this before but I came across another example of it yesterday.

Your words can have an effect on people even when you’re not making a conscious effort.
I was chatting with a business acquaintance yesterday. We were taking about the toll this year has taken on people’s mental health, and how we’ve yet to see the true fallout. And how it effects different people in different ways.
Anyways, they mentioned a comment I had made to them a while back. It was a simple statement about how I admired their hustle.. always working hard and doing whatever it takes to make it happen. They said that remark stayed with them all day.
That someone noticing and acknowledging made them feel good at a time when they were feeling a little down.

I was so surprised by this and really bowled over by the honesty of the discussion.
I guess my point is, if you see something you like in another person, don’t hold back from expressing it. You just never know what people are going through.

Lol I made myself tear up with this thread I’m such a freaking baby.
