Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is that when something reminds you of someone in
Speaker 1: your life, let them know. You will both enjoy the
Speaker 1: sense of connection and the shared memory. Several times a
Speaker 1: week or more, I am guessing something reminds you of
Speaker 1: someone in your life in a happy way. You hear
Speaker 1: a song on the radio that makes you think of
Speaker 1: dancing to it with your best friends. In college, an
Speaker 1: underdog team wins big and you think of a friend
Speaker 1: who roots for that team through winning and losing seasons.
Speaker 1: You read an article on a topic you discussed with
Speaker 1: your work best friend a few days ago, and the
Speaker 1: expert on the topic reached the same conclusion that you
Speaker 1: both did.
Speaker 2: How prescient. Whenever something like this happens and you surface
Speaker 2: a happy memory of someone, don't let the moment pass
Speaker 2: you by. Stop and share the moment with the person
Speaker 2: you think of so they can feel that same happiness too.
Speaker 2: It is so simple and quick to send a text
Speaker 2: message or a direct message to someone. Perhaps in the
Speaker 2: old days when you made that original memory, you would
Speaker 2: have had to call or write a letter to someone,
Speaker 2: but those days are long gone. Now you can reach
Speaker 2: out instantly in a way that doesn't need to monopolize
Speaker 2: someone's attention. It makes it that much easier to let
Speaker 2: people know that you were thinking about them, So do it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes the person you reach out to may write or
Speaker 2: call to reminisce about related memories or offer some updates
Speaker 2: on their lives, and that's awesome. Other times you might
Speaker 2: just get a haha tap back and you all move on.
Speaker 2: But it really doesn't matter. There are very few ways
Speaker 2: to spread kindness in the world that are basically free
Speaker 2: and take ten seconds. Who doesn't want to know that
Speaker 2: someone in this world was thinking of them. I know
Speaker 2: I'd like that. I am guessing you would too, and
Speaker 2: you can give that gift to another person. So that
Speaker 2: is a very good reason to put forth what amounts
Speaker 2: to just a tiny extra effort. In the meantime, This
Speaker 2: is Laura. Thanks for listening, and here's to making the
Speaker 2: most of our time.
