Sometimes, I wonder.
What if I put away my phone anytime I was in a meeting or dining with someone?
What if I actually got eight hours sleep each night?
What if I took a few minutes each day to reflect on my goals and what I’ve done to achieve them?
What if I listened more than spoke?
What if I avoided spending time aimlessly web surfing?
What if I made sure to thank someone in person or in writing every day?
What if I turned off the television except for special programs?
What if I read the classics?
What if I learned a language not my own?
What if I gave some time to a worthy cause?
What if I tried harder to understand than to be understood?
What if I made sure I thought before speaking?
What if I took ownership for all my actions?
What if I chose to give my colleagues the benefit of a doubt?
What if I acted without regard for who gets the credit?
Finally, what if I gave myself and others grace when we aren’t able to do all of the above?
