Could small acts of kindness, chivalry, and charity transform your day-to-day life? In a world where rudeness and self-centeredness often pervade almost all human interactions, might the simple virtues of nobility, courtesy and good manners allow you to create a different experience for yourself on a daily basis?
The Value of Good Manners
Picture yourself in your favorite coffee shop, excitedly waiting in line to be served coffee or an espresso to boost your morning. The barista has just finished taking an order, when he quickly turns to you and flashes a smile as he asks how your day is going. It's a small thing, yes, but it lifts your day and your mood to receive that kind of warm consideration, and it lends a smile to your face as well. This is the beauty and the power of good manners.
The Generous Connection
Think back to the last time you observed someone being generative. Try to recall the last time someone extended themselves to assist you without the promise of a payback. Perhaps a stranger held the door open for you, or maybe a colleague lent a hand with a project. It not only energizes us to feel special and part of a community, but it can also inspire others to pay an act of generosity forward as well.
The Nobility Lens
We typically associate noble deeds with royal performance. While noble deeds can certainly take on a ceremonial appearance, each of us holds an opportunity for nobility in our own lives every day. Ultimately, a moment to take the high road in a disagreement, to listen to a friend, or to receive constructive feedback is an act of nobility that translates into better relationships, and ultimately more rewarding living.
The Evolution of Decorum in an Upside-Down World
While the ease of technology often dominates our communications today, often the art of decorum can feel outdated. There is merit in making a personal effort to add a simple "please" and "thank you," or even produce a handwritten note if the situation permits - all sendable forms conveying genuine goodwill. Each of those communicative gestures signify we value and respect their audience.
About Manners & Generosity
So, do manners and generosity make a difference in your everyday life? Absolutely! In nearly all cases, trying to learn manners and infusing generous gestures into your conversations puts a smile on another's face, while also enhancing the atmosphere around you - and your mood too! Kindness does not cost anything real and adds agape friendship to our contributions made towards an exceptional gesture.
The next time you get to hold the door for someone, or you have time to listen to someone and let them share their heart - or even say to someone "thank you," toss in your heart in these interactions. You will be amazed about the difference your gesture made each of one these times.
Let's all choose to make the environment a positive one and be examples of goodness instead of the inability to support someone or show generosity if we don't want to feel free to intervene, speak or react. Manners & Kindness, like decency in our societies, is based on each of us doing my part. We can make and do this together! There is no limit to learn and practice more, with and in our environment.
So slow down today and put the effort into making the places you frequent and do business in a joy! You never know the generations these interactions are creating or unlocking!
So let's you and I make a daily choice to embody and become the best version of ourselves through gift giving our effort, thoughts; giving kindness, decency, and manners. Our lives are waiting to discover everything you want - are you ready?
Take your time; the skills to express and support and become the best of ourselves is within another good idea.
Let us begin our kindness trail, hope, self, and body of relationships now!
