Be Gentle & Kind

I was scrolling through photos the other day with my girl and we came across this sweet photo and it got me thinking.
​
​I mean … the sheer nature of a baby chick is gentle and kind; virtues that could easily be applied to humanity right now.

Both personally AND professionally.

The way we speak about someone. The way we communicate to others. The way we touch. The way we stand or fold our arms. The look in our eyes. Our body language.

All convey a message. 

I have to check myself often in the world of real estate, as it’s easy to be gentle with the ones I love, but professionally, it’s often a challenge when dealing with a difficult person. 

The question …

Can we still show up and be gentle and kind (anyway)?

There are so many opportunities in the world to be considerate and warmhearted toward others. Think about that the next time you engage with someone who's triggering.

Can you love them anyway?

I’m not saying it’s easy. In fact, it’s downright impossible sometimes, but I’ve learned that an entire transaction can be turned around simply by leaning in with more heart ... more gratitude ... more patience ... more understanding. 

Try it and see for yourself.
