Tell People What They Mean To You
People make you, you make others
Self-help can place too much emphasis on the self. Yes, we control a good deal of how we turn out, but not everything. Others influence us hugely, as we grow up, progress through adulthood… forever really.
There are writers on this platform who would be surprised at just how much their words have informed my current approach to life. I’ll make sure they know who they are when the time is right.
You do have to pick your moment. But don’t miss the moment.
Most people have a lower opinion of themselves than everyone else does. Knowing they made a positive difference to your life (which you then pass on to others by being a better version of yourself) could mean so much.
Acknowledge, celebrate and thank the people who have helped make you… you.
