It’s Warrior Wednesday, and You Have to Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand

“Just reach out and make someone’s day a better day…”

fear1 In our daily lives, it seldom dawns on us that there are other people all around us. How often have you stopped and thought about the person working at the deli counter, or driving the bus, or buying that coffee? What do you know about them? Nothing? That’s more than likely the case. But what if you extended yourself and made friends with that person? How would they feel if you took it upon yourself to walk over and say “hello?” How much effort did that take? It takes hardly any effort, but it may change the whole direction of that person’s day. Now imagine if you could change the day of every single person you ran into? Imagine if you could make everyone happy. Wouldn’t that be something? You can. All it takes is reaching out and making friends wherever you go, and making friends without wanting anything in return. A selfless friendship.

Hello Is All You Need Say

Okay, so sometimes you don’t know what to say to people. We’ve all been there. Sometimes I don’t know what to say to people. I’ve found that just a simple “hello,” “hi,” or “how are you?” makes all the difference when breaking the ice. Try it out… just turn to that person standing over there and say hello!

Some People Aren’t Friendly… and That’s Okay!

Occasionally, you are going to find that people just aren’t interested in being friendly. That’s okay, too. Extend yourself, and if they don’t want to reach out and grab your extended hand—then don’t force them. Just smile and move on. You’ve made your point.

It’s About You

Making friends, and the ability to make friends, is all about you. It’s all a skill that you are learning. Being able to make friends easily means that you will have crucial social skills—skills that you can apply to anything you want to do. Whenever we interact with other people, we are learning. Every single person we meet reacts in a different way—speak to enough people, and soon you will be able to read body language.

There’s Something Wrong…

When someone looks upset, many people don’t want to get involved. People just don’t want to be part of the problem or even the solution. I disagree with this. I think it’s crucial for us to try and help people we feel are in distress. There’s no harm in asking what’s wrong, and there’s no harm in trying to help someone along their way in life.

Be Gentle

Try to consider every single new conversation to be as fluffy as a cloud. Don’t just beat your way into a conversation and push that powerful personality of yours. Be gentle, and be concise. Let people know that you are a listener. A listener is never in need of friends because everyone wants to be his or her friend.
