Giving garners gratitude, which is often shared between everyone involved in providing, receiving, or sharing. It can be as little as a hi and a nod passing on the street or as big as helping someone find a place to sleep or their next meal. Everyone involved will find gratitude for the act.
On my daily walks, I often will say hi to many people I pass. I usually have a response rate of around 90% positive. There are occasional days it is lower, yet not that often.
When We say hi or respond positively to it, Everyone feels better from the emotional uplift. Don’t oversell it. Just try it sometime when you feel comfortable doing so and see if it works for you. Do it when you feel safe doing so.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
