The Power of Goodwill: Lifting Others Through Every Season of Life

Notes to Young Leaders | 19 April 2024

Some relationships are for a reason, some for a season and some for a lifetime.

Still, all relationships should aspire to mutual goodwill. We should all wish our fellow travellers well.

One of the best features of smart phones is the way they randomly call up “on this day” photos, often from many years ago.

If someone pops up in one of those photos that I haven’t seen in a while, I’ve made it a habit to immediately send them the photo, drop them a text and send good wishes their way.

And when you cross paths with co-workers or acquaintances, be an uplifter.

Don’t let anyone come within 10 feet of you without lifting them up with a smile, a playful comment and a pat on the back.

Relationships really matter.
