- I have a new employee starting today.
- It’s one of my friend’s son’s birthday today.
- My aunt is moving into her new “forever” home today.
- My co-worker is having an intense back surgery procedure today.
- And while I was driving home today, I saw that my neighbor’s house caught fire and burned down. Literally four houses away from where I live.
For each of the above situations, there are things I can do to help out. Things I can do to show thoughtfulness and care. Things I can do to make a real difference in their day… maybe even longer than that.
And my bet is, that’s probably true for you, too. Maybe not to the same extent that it happened for me on this particular day… but there none-the-less. Heck… maybe even more so?
My point is… maybe you’re focusing too much on the grandiose or getting too distracted on screen impact… and not enough on the folks in your own neighborhoods and in real life (IRL). The time, energy, and effort invested IRL can have an exponential effect compared to the same invested into screens.
