Let someone in.

When traffic is awful and you are in a hurry, slow down and let one person pull in front of you. It may slow your trip by 30 seconds, but you’ll feel better for helping to brighten someone else’s day.

Listen to a story (even if you have heard it before).

Sometimes you need to grit your teeth and listen to a story you’ve heard before (even MANY times). Act as though it is the first time you have heard it. It is a kindness the storyteller will never know about, but usually one you won’t regret.

Listen

Sometimes people aren’t looking for advise or sympathy. They just need an ear to hear what they have to say.
