This e-mail arrived recently. It comes from a participant from one of the seminars I presented. I read it the first time late in the evening, traveling back home after a week on the road. Smiling as I read it, I knew what I had to do when I was done.
Since then, I've been traveling with "thank you" cards in my backpack. So far (over 6 weeks now) I am keeping my goal of writing one thank you card per city I visit. Sometimes it's the hotel manager, other times a restaurant server. I have written two to the airlines (and got a response!), and one to the manager of a theater. I can't explain how good it feels to send these out!
If you have the opportunity, try it out. Stop for a while and say "thanks" to someone. You will probably make their day...and you just might make yours is a byproduct to the process!
The "after" is an organized, controlled delightful part of my job. It is like night and day. I "see the light" now and it is shining brightly. I am so grateful for your teaching and so delighted in how it is changing my life. I am encouraged and feel more confident about managing my work and home life. You and your teaching have blessed me. Thank you so much! - D.P., Colorado Springs, CO
