The way you make someone feel is permanent.
No matter what the action is that you take, the way you make someone feel is permanent. Our words and actions towards others play a major role in their quality of life and the choices they make.
You see, the way we choose to speak to others impacts the way they feel about themselves. Speaking positively about others rubs off on them and encourages them to do more positive things. But if we speak negatively about others, it can be a slippery slope that often times ends with them feeling less confident. We must be mindful of the way we influence others, especially children. The things we say and do will either better ourselves or better others, but not both.
To put it in perspective, the way you make someone feel physically is permanent. If you make someone feel like they are less than they are or present them with things they can't do, that feeling is permanent. Some people can change those feelings, but not always.
It's a lot of responsibility to be a part of someone else's life. It can be scary too, depending on the situation. Whether it's a new friendship or a first date or anything like that.
The way a person makes you feel, lasts longer than their momentary presence. If you never focus on making someone feel better than how they feel before they met you, then don't be at all surprised when they move on and find someone who will.
You have the power to make someone's day amazing, and all it costs you is your time and effort. Be a light. Be positive. Be helpful and kind and understanding. Show genuine interest in what they have to say, and make them feel like they are important and needed in this world. Give them a reason to feel good about themselves and send them on their way with hope for something better tomorrow.
Positive body language, positive self-talk, and positive communication. A friendly greeting in the public, a smile, or a kind word to a stranger. You have the power to make someone else feel welcomed, safe and more confident in themselves. Spread positivity and inspire others to spread it as well. The world could use more of it.
Trust has to be earned, and deserved. And if it's misused, it can be so heartbreaking. I wish we humans could make that trust last forever, because once one loses it, it can be really hard to get back. And I wish it wasn't that way... But I guess the alternative would be no trust at all and then no love, and we wouldn't want that either.
I urge you to keep in mind how powerful your words and actions are with the people around you, because they are permanent. They can last forever in the hearts of others. So you might as well put them toward something positive.
Every time you make a choice in life, you are cementing yourself in the way you view life, the way that you see yourself, and the way you experience being alive. You're creating a filter through which you interpret your surroundings.
In conclusion
You are either a positive light in someone's life or a negative one.
It's easy to think of the negative things we say or do and not notice the impact on others. It's easy to only reflect on things that have happened to us and how "negative" people have treated us.
Why not plant an extra positive seed today? Why not choose a positive mindset and own it?
Don't have regrets, be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem, because the way you make someone feel is permanent.
Thanks for reading 💚💚
I agree with you, as I have seen first hand the impact of soft and hard words. They have Their effect and that is why we need to watch the word we tell others.
