Words are more powerful then we give them credit for. They describe how are we feeling and what we are wanting people to know.
Today I went to the gas station to pick up some things I randomly needed and when I went to check out, the lady was scanning my items and I paid for them. When I started to leave I told her, "Have a nice day" and she looked shocked that I said that. These simple words that should be said to everyone every day.
When I walked out of the station to my car it made me think about how we use our words in today's society. We see that phrase as a simple thing that we don't really need to say to people because it doesn't feel like it means anything. But actually it can be the simple thing that changes how someones day is going. I feel like in todays world, we all have become consumed by what technology we have and what the latest update is that we have forgotten how to be kind to one another.
My parents told me that when they were around my age, people that were in the neighborhood would wave at each other and they would actually know each other. Now, we don't feel like that needs to be a part of our lives.
I don't know about you but I want to bring that happiness and joy back into my life. Saying that simple phrase does not only make the other person have a better day, it does the same to you as well. You are happy that you were able to give someone else a good story to bring home to their family. There are other ways as well to make someones day even if its just a complement or a simple hi. The word Hi has become something that we are afraid to say to people at times. In college, I always look around and see how a lot of people are looking at their phones and they are not talking to the people that are around them. We can make lasting relationships in college if we choose to. It just requires us to say that simple word..... Hi.
I just wanted to share this with you and to get you all thinking!
Have a nice day! :)
Until next time,
