Think about first impressions....

Have you ever thought about the effort you put into in making a good first impression? How much care and attention do you put in your appearance? What about the way you act and/or speak to this person you are just meeting but hoping to impress? Do you listen more carefully and attentively when they speak.? Do you consider the things that you say carefully before they spill from your mouth?  Do you keep your emotions in check if they say something that upsets you?

What happens after you've made your best impression? What happens once you've gotten past the getting to know you phase and that person is your colleague, partner, boss or spouse? Do you still take as much care in how you say things to those folks? Do you listen as carefully and pay close attention when they are speaking?

What would happen if you treated every interaction you had with a neighbor, friend, family member or stranger with the same care and attention as you do when trying to make a good first impression? How would it change your conversations? How would it change your relationships? How would it change your life?

Think about it....!
