Today sees the continuation of our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
The next eleven declarations will explain Sharma’s Eleven Maxims to Increase Your Financial Fortune and Experience an Exquisite Life. The ninth maxim is: Deep Love Yields Unconquerable Joy.
Here are a few gems from today’s reading:
- Any chance you get, show people love.
- Tell people how proud you are of them and how much you love them while you—and they—are still alive. Not one of us knows when we’ll face our end. So, why hold back that which is most valuable: your human capacity to love deeply?
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Part of your job as a fully alive human is to make people feel better about themselves. And to make others smile. It may shock you how little it takes to make someone happy. Write old-school love letters to everyone you care about, thank-you notes to those who have helped you and messages of consideration for anyone you think needs some appreciation. Express how you really feel without being limited by the devilish fear of rejection. And always be more interested in other people than being concerned with coming off as an interesting person.
Every human being you meet has a lesson to teach, a story to tell and some dream in their heart that longs for your support. Our best selves will be shackled by the caring words we leave unspoken, the warm feelings we fail to display and the good deeds we leave undone.
