"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
— Maya Angelou
How true this statement is. And it punched me this time as hard as it did the last time I saw it. I instantly started replaying recent encounters with people in my head, looking at them with new eyes... and cringing at how self absorbed I am sometimes.
Without realizing it we can build someone up or hurt them in a millisecond... with a word, a gesture, a look...
This is a reminder I'd like to keep before me at all times, throughout each day. For those of you I have the privilege of rubbing up against regularly, it's okay to remind me!
