Say Something Nice Day!
What a perfect day, a day to say something nice. Wow. We need more days like this. I am a huge believer in the power of “nice”. In my Living the 90% book, I wrote the story of listening to the, Your Best Manager podcast. The host, Jamie, challenged us to be the person other people talk about at the end of their day. Be the person who was so kind to them that they sit at their dinner table
and talk about you.
I took up that challenge many years ago. To this day, I look for opportunities to make someone’s day, simple gestures like leaving gift cards in my hotel room for the housekeeping staff, topping up the tip, calling hotel managers with specific staff names and compliments, and informing restaurants and chefs about great service. I even called the restaurant I ordered from on DoorDash to thank them for a
beautiful meal. People are always so thankful. They tell me how rare it is for someone to call with something nice to say. I tell people how much I appreciate their service and compliment a parent on how loving they are to their child. I tell people I appreciate them, am proud of them, and love them.
What have you done today to be a blessing to someone else? What have you done that was so nice that it causes another person to sit
at their dinner table and say, “You are not going to believe what this kind person did for me today!”
Let’s celebrate kindness and spread positivity together!
Kindly,
Darci.
