Contrary to popular belief, most people do care what others
think. They may not want to, they may not want to admit it, and some definitely
won’t tell you… but they care. We all care on some level, its human nature. Its part of how we are designed and rise of
social media proves this!
Everyone has a bad day, week or even a bad year. They will
feel bad and like life sucks, like the world is against them, like nothing they
do is right. At these moments especially, people care what others think. They will
be especially sensitive to everything said to them, about them and around them.
This is your moment to be a hero… or a dick. You have a choice to positively
motivate and encourage them or just make the situation worse.
We live in a world where it is easy to focus on the bad. It’s
what we remember, it’s what sticks out and grabs our attention. It gets noticed
because it negatively effects our lives. The news, Social Media, gossip – all highlight
and reflect what’s wrong in world. But what about the good? All the things that
people do right everyday go largely unnoticed. When we ignore the good and only
point out the bad, people start to feel unappreciated and abused.
After a strong drink, we all need a little encouragement, validation
and appreciation. Realize that and provide it to a friend in need. Bring them
back the good place and give them a boost to keep moving forward. Don’t be a
dick. Be a hero.
