Today is a day for reflection.
Due to unforeseeable circumstances, I?ve come to the conclusion, or perhaps realization, that business networking is about more than just business. As I?ve mentioned in previous articles, networking in general and business networking in particular are about relationships: forming them, deepening them and maintaining them. I?ve known that all along, perhaps like you, but today it really hits home.
Things happen in life that you would not expect. My last article, ?Social Networking Sometimes Brings the Unexpected? refers to that. But imagine this ? life and business are going along just fine and suddenly you have some kind of emotional, financial or physical trauma. It could be you or your family or it could be with some close friend or associate. Whatever the case may be, who can you turn to for help? For compassion? For prayers? For support?
You guessed it ? it?s your relationships with people that will help when it?s needed.
If you didn?t have these relationships, the circumstances would be just ?news.?
Just news.
How would it feel to know that your precious life was just a footnote to everyone else out there? A 15 second distraction to them?
I?m here to tell each and every one of you that you are precious! You are valuable to others in ways you probably haven?t even thought of. Most of us never think of ourselves as valuable. We only notice when we?ve screwed up and then we feel guilty and in some cases worthless (depending or not on our bank account balance) and beat ourselves up more than anyone else can. You know that little voice that says, ?If you only knew? when someone compliments you? That?s what I?m talking about.
Or, if you?re like me, you have several little voices in your head, and they?re always arguing!! But that?s for a later article.
Live each day as if it?s your last. Heard that one before? We all have. If that?s the case, let?s make today a Friday! Everyone loves a Friday! That?s why we have a ?Thank God It?s Friday? saying. So?we can pretend that EVERY day is a Friday and never have a stupid Monday again. Today is the Friday of the rest of your life! I know ? my wife says I?m beginning to ramble, AGAIN!
I don?t care. Today is Friday and it doesn?t matter. I?m enjoying my ?Friday? and I hope you will to!
To your business and relationship success! TGIF
