This is the perfect time to think of others as you make plans to close this year on a good note. January will be here soon and as most traditionally do, when developing your new year resolution, make sure you incorporate others in this annual plan. Some great ways of considering others around you can be as simple as the each-one teach-one concept. Take a little time to talk to a young adult or teenager. Offer a little encouragement while listening as a friend. Tell them how much the two of your life experiences are the same and share with them how you overcame your own obstacles. Kids, teens and young adults have a harder time coping today than those of yesterday, so every chance we as seasoned adults have to influence them will prove to be beneficial to both they and us. Remember, we are all twice a child and only once an adult. The children of today will be the adults caring for us tomorrow. Enjoy you day and share a smile with someone else. PKT |
