Today at work I learnt an important lesson. To be kind. But not only that, I learnt (and bore the brunt of) it's effects when your not. It was a great reminder how our 'moods' can affect others and rub off on people.
I worked reception today and had to do some calling around of members. Members who had recently entered a competition. I was calling to inform them that they were successful and had just been entered into the major draw.
One man. The husband who answered his wife's phone, was not kind at all. He was the most negative person I think I have dealt with!!!
His wife had just won a chance at winning $28,000 and I was calling to tell him. Yet everything I said he turned, twisted, and made it sound like a 'bad thing'." Are you kidding me?!" I thought.
He was obviously having a bad day.
I wasn't. But after that I was. My mood totally changed.
Yuck. Ick.
What happened today was a beautiful reminder how we, and our moods, and the energy we carry DOES affect others.
Which is why every single day I try to wear my happy hat. I smile. I'm kind. And I don't hurt a single person intentionally.
The world needs more of this. More of us. So lets all be kinder.
And to that man. I am so sorry. I can only imagine how hard your life must currently be to speak to someone the way you did me today. You are obviously suffering. And I am sorry 💕
