Say Hello

Someone I admire once said something so profound that I just had to write it down. “I am where I am today because I said hello.” I took that to heart and said hello to three new people that day. Two of these interactions were fairly shallow and that’s totally fine, however the third interaction has impacted my life in a way that I did not expect in the slightest.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I interact with others, whether it be friends, family, or people I’ve just met. When I put myself out there I learn the most about myself and become more attached to the area that I inhabit. There are people all around me. People that have stories to tell. Stories that I may one day be lucky enough to listen to and perhaps even take part in.

I encourage you to give it a shot, say hello to someone completely new today.

You never know who’s going to change your life, so meet as many people as possible.
