WEBVTT - This reminded me of you

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>tip is that when something reminds you of someone in

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>your life, let them know. You will both enjoy the

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>sense of connection and the shared memory. Several times a

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:36.279
<v Speaker 1>week or more, I am guessing something reminds you of

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>someone in your life in a happy way. You hear

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a song on the radio that makes you think of

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>dancing to it with your best friends. In college, an

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>underdog team wins big and you think of a friend

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>who roots for that team through winning and losing seasons.

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>You read an article on a topic you discussed with

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>your work best friend a few days ago, and the

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>expert on the topic reached the same conclusion that you

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>both did.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>How prescient. Whenever something like this happens and you surface

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.199
<v Speaker 2>a happy memory of someone, don't let the moment pass

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 2>you by. Stop and share the moment with the person

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 2>you think of so they can feel that same happiness too.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 2>It is so simple and quick to send a text

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 2>message or a direct message to someone. Perhaps in the

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>old days when you made that original memory, you would

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>have had to call or write a letter to someone,

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 2>but those days are long gone. Now you can reach

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>out instantly in a way that doesn't need to monopolize

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>someone's attention. It makes it that much easier to let

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>people know that you were thinking about them, So do it.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes the person you reach out to may write or

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>call to reminisce about related memories or offer some updates

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>on their lives, and that's awesome. Other times you might

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>just get a haha tap back and you all move on.

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But it really doesn't matter. There are very few ways

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 2>to spread kindness in the world that are basically free

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 2>and take ten seconds. Who doesn't want to know that

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>someone in this world was thinking of them. I know

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 2>I'd like that. I am guessing you would too, and

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you can give that gift to another person. So that

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>is a very good reason to put forth what amounts

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>to just a tiny extra effort. In the meantime, This

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>is Laura. Thanks for listening, and here's to making the
