the impact you have

every day you get up and go about your business.  some days are undoubtedly very purposeful and planned and other days you might float through with little to no regard.  your patterns are yours.  your interaction with those around you depends primarily on either your mood or protocol - which ever is more powerful at that moment. 

every day you come across hundreds of people.  many you talk to.  others you listen to.  some only see you in the distance.  think about it!  how many people lay their eyes on you . . . ?

what will their experience be?  what will they garner from having been around you?  will they be better off having talked to you?  will you have made a difference by them just seeing you?  will your time with them leave them in a better place than before they encountered you? 

there have been numerous days in my life over the last 18 months that the only people that spoke to me or that i spoke to were in the service industry.  "may i help you?"  "that will be $5.89."  "please remove your laptop and place it on the conveyor."  i guess some days are not destined to be highly interactive.  may we never forget that even though we may not speak to others - they are still watching.  what do others observe when they see you?
