Power of Being Nice

There are plenty of books on the following subjects:

The Power, Power of Positive thinking, The Power of the Subconscious mind, The Power of Concentration, and The Power of Intention.

They all suggest ways to learn to be better versions of ourselves. Each has powerful suggestions and exercises.

I have been a student of many of these masters, and over time, I have developed my own school of thought; I believe in the “Power of Being Nice .” Being Nice is underrated in today’s world.

The 1990s taught us that to be successful in reaching our goals; we needed to adopt a shark system, which would get us everything. We may have overlooked the importance of the Power of the human touch. To be more human, create connectivity, and be nice without an agenda. I always notice this on a daily; when we are courteous, we receive more from the world.

A very successful director told me long ago that his leading lady would perform best if she believed in and loved him and the film. His words stuck when we extended our circle of sharing; when we invited others into our lives, they became a part of it.

The support we receive comes from the tribe we build around ourselves. When you are friendly, we tend to get it back, creating a chain reaction.

For example, I love traveling, and I know that airlines, hotels, and the hospitality industry are bending backward to please me. It is a tiresome job to be on your feet for a certain amount of time. From the air hostess who greets us or at hotel check-in, do we acknowledge them?
I pause and say hello to all these wonderful people who make our lives comfortable. We tend to connect when we appeal to another and see them as human beings rather than in their respective roles. Addressing them by their name makes a difference. It is a simple thank you, said mindfully with their name. So the least I can do is be grateful and not adopt the mentality that it’s just their job. Some people are never satisfied, and their experiences are so mediocre.

When we choose to see the world with a kinder filter, abundance flows in; even if everything may not be perfect, I can choose to see the perfection in things! Being nice creates an impression that lasts a long time. When we thank someone, it makes us both feel loved and like a virtual hug. And we are all connected, and impressions are everything.

Also, on a deeper note, negative impressions are like viruses; they tend to spread; you can notice this when you are next looking for a maid, technical support, or even a driver. People are always subconsciously leaving impressions. Being nice is about understanding the long-term value – to you and the others around you. Niceness is a powerful force that, combined with talent, intelligence, and hard work, can make you a big success.

So, practice the random act of kindness, and pass it on. Be friendly in your day and life. It will undoubtedly increase your well-being and happiness.
