Message of the Day - A Personal Touch

Good Morning,

 

I find that we can all give a personal touch to everything that we do. No matter how mundane an activity may seem, we can make it better by giving a little pizzazz or personality of our own.

 

A perfect example of this was when I received a package from Simple Truths (www.simpletruths.com) with two books I ordered.

 

Many of us make purchases over the internet, from catalogs etc., and get packages of all sort arriving at our home or places of business. Often there is the package, the packing material, the product, the invoice and maybe some promotional materials.

 

We seldom think further of who packaged our item, or who shipped them, etc.

 

So it was a nice surprise to find out that my two books were, in fact, packed and shipped to me by a lady named Rosy. I know this because there was a simple postcard in my package with her photo, signature and a note saying that it was her pleasure packing my order, and a hope that I would enjoy their products.  

 

I stopped to think about all the people who would also open a package that Rosy packed for them. I also thought that when I put in my next order that I hope that Rosy packs it for me.

 

It also reminded me about the story about Johnny the Bagger (another Simple Truths book and video). It is great to see that lesson put into action.  Simple Truths works hard to add that extra special touch (http://www.simpletruths.com/about.asp).

 

That personal touch was a nice change. I have received hundreds packages over the last few years, and seldom have I felt the warm tidings when I opened them. That postcard added a warm human element to what is normally a non-event in our lives.  

 

It also shows that we, too, can add a personal touch to almost any part of our lives, and to the lives of others and make them better.

 

What is the personal touch you could start adding to what you do every day?

 

If you want some ideas, let me know and I would love to help.

 

Enjoy!
