Blog #686: The Two Flight Attendants
I’m writing this blog from Central America.
An experience I had on my way here will
highlight my seed-planting message this week.
______
A question to start…
“How do you see life?”
Is it stressed-out chaos?
Is it an adventure?
Is it something to be survived?
Is it a miracle to be celebrated?
Despite their commonality…
I ran into two people simultaneously who see it very differently.
______
I was on a long flight.
I interacted with two flight attendants.
They have the same job.
They are doing the same thing on the same flight.
But each shared something dramatically different with the passengers.
______
The first attendant…
Her eye smile matched her face smile.
She was positive and kind.
She cared.
And I felt those from her… extra.
The second attendant…
She was loud, angry, and mean.
She said unkind things.
She could care less.
And I felt those from her… extra.
Despite…
Same job.
Same flight.
Same passengers.
Each shared a far different…extra.
______
My takeaway?
It’s the extra we send into the world that others feel.
It’s the extra we send into the world that others know us by.
Two last questions?
1. What extra are you sending into the world?
2. Are you proud of the extra you’re sending?
S.
EXTRA Thoughts…
I love that you were here today.
Thank you…extra.
Create a harmonious week…
and may you help others live the same.
With kindness and gratitude…
