No one cares, until someone cares

No one cares…………
I was offered this reflection earlier this week, and it got me thinking.
It seems like a throwaway comment, but I decided to dig into it a little bit more, and the findings were super interesting… they ended up giving me a huge lift.
Let me share that feeling with you, and lift you up alongside me.
The reality is that our time and attention are constantly being fought over. Everybody wants a piece of us, from family to friends to colleagues, from inboxes to sales calls, from the next health fad to ads trying to infiltrate our subconscious.
And yep, you guessed it, they don’t really care how they do it.
So, if nobody cares, what does any of it matter? I think I found the answer in a quote by Ken Poirot:
“No one cares, until someone cares; be that one”
This simple change to an overused quote, adds HUGE value to who we can be, how we can differentiate ourselves, and most importantly, how we can feel that we’re adding value to the world.
Be the one who asks people how they are, and listens to the answer. Be the one who holds the door open for strangers, who leaves a tip, who helps someone with their shopping.
Be the one who writes awesome emails, who tells a friend that you love them, who never misses a chance to hug your partner, or to squeeze your kids tight. Be someone who makes the world smile.
When we decide to be the someone who cares, something shifts, and our whole world changes.
I think you’ll find that others start caring back. The time and attention we give to others will be reflected back to us, and will compound over time.
Give it a try, and let me know how it changes everything around you.
