Every morning I walk into the tower, this guy says, “Good morning Mr. Bailey.”

He doesn’t work for my bank, and he doesn’t say that to any of the other executives. Meaning, he never calls them by their name, however, I am the only one (under 60) that looks like him, talks like him, walks like him.

For those of U whom GOD has placed into leadership, especially if U are a minority or an exception, it matters!  Understand, U you could be making someone feel joyful about themselves every day and their identity, heritage, gender, or height, every time they see U.

How often do you hear those two simple words?  The words that instantly cause creases along the side of your face, also known as a smile.  The words that can turn your day from a negative to a positive vibe.

Thank you!  How powerful... And how rarely used these days.  As I move about in my typical day-to-day I find myself doing what I was raised to do, and that is to be considerate.  Think of others and extend a kind gesture every now and then.  Excuse me, no problem, have a great day, just to give you an example.  Going above and beyond to hold the door for a complete stranger or simply asking someone how they are doing. 

It's natural to expect the same gestures in return, however, the world is quite busy with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.  I'm reminded to forever have an attitude of gratitude by those who don't understand true and pure etiquette when it comes to showing appreciation for the small things. 
​

One of the GREATEST challenges we will face in our lives, is to break away from the systematic doctrine used to mold us into believing that there is "no other" way, than what's been presented. This is strategically designed to easily manipulate us consciously/subconsciously with every aspect of our daily lives.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED...

• Who made the rule that 40hrs (min) creates the work week?
• Why do people celebrate you louder when you get a job than when you start your own business?
• If fast food is bad for you, why is it cheaper than healthier food?
• If credit scores, finances, emotional balance, conflict resolution (just to name a few), are critical in healthy living, why isn't there any focus on that in schools?

Just a penny for my thoughts.
