Mo Anderson literally blew us away at the recent ALC Clinic in Atlanta.
Her wit, intelligence, wisdom, charisma etc etc was infectious.
She had a recurring theme . . . BE NICE!
Each list of things to do ended with: "Be Nice!"
Whenever there was an issue to resolve, the solution always included: "BE NICE!"
Got me thinkin'
As a Principal Broker, Organizational Consultant, and real estate professional, I deal with "Issues and Opportunities" aplenty every day as I coach/consult with REALTORS, work with home Buyers and Sellers, and mediate differences of opinions amongst the players in this game of life.
Most issues arise from what I can only think to call "Be Nice Amnesia" (BNA)
When BNA strikes, tempers flare and priorities become muddled.
BNA creates a messy stew that causes folks also to forget the GOAL.
BNA is a useless waste of time and energy.
"Be Nice" does not consume energy . . . BNA is a horrendous distractor.
BNA creates a veritable petri dish for the growth of toxic karma.
"Be Nice" is CONSTRUCTIVE . . . BNA is DEstructive!
Instead of telling others (children?) how "BAD" they are . . . and dwelling on what they did wrong . . . What do you think would happen if your simple response to aberrant behavior is:
"Be Nice!"?????
Try this . . . I think what you'll witness is . . . what you think, focus on, and say EXPANDS.
Dwell on what was wrong, and you'll get more of it back atcha . . .
Focus on "Be Nice", and you'll get more of THAT.
Wouldn't THAT be nice?
You are here on this planet to sculpt the best human experience you can . . .
Quit making it so difficult . . .
JUST BE NICE!
I'm just sayin'
Best,
b
