“Be Nice to people and Be Nice to yourself”
# Nice to people # Respect #
Mental Health #Happiness
I heard this recently from our CEO in
an online call. While it is not a new position as it is all around empathy, but
the way the statement was sewn within the current context stuck me like
lightning strike.
It is not unusual for me or most of us
to be nice to people more than occasionally. Equally it is not unusual for me
or most of us not to be nice to ourselves, albeit occasionally!
Reflections
I have been reflecting on this at a
deeper level. Ego, Jealousy and Envy, many a time, drive us away from nicety
when being with people. Have an argument with another person and dragging the
argument for long, especially holding on to a position, without even a
temporary forbearance generally leads to bad taste lingering for a substantial
period. Even, at the face value, if one feels having won the argument but once sunk
in, the feeling is generally of a loser. What is the use of such win or loss
when it does not mean being “Nice to Self” - leave along being “Nice to Others”!
Future ahead
In my professional email signature
section, I tagged this statement not just to be a tag line alone
though! It reminds me and the receiver of the communication on the impactful
statement. Frankly, even in last one month, since I inserted this tag line, I
could once internally question myself on a certain transaction and instead of
reprimanding myself or feeling guilty, I resolved to be more consistent in
future. So, it works - yes it works!!
Thoughts?!
Sure, each one has a check-scale
instilled in your system - physically, physiologically or emotionally. Happy to
learn on your system too and how you feel it works!
Look forward::: Humbly yours
