Are You Nice?

Someone in my office told me recently that I was the nicest person they know. It was a wonderful compliment and caught me completely off guard. It got me thinking about what it means to be nice. I think it is much easier to go through my daily life being kind and considerate to those around me. The feeling is not always reflected back to me, but I don't care. I have seen enough in this lifetime to understand that someone's unpleasantness is not a reflection of me, but of them. How sad is that?

Another thing that I have noticed is that I attract nice people to me. Nice people like to hang together and I have some wonderful friends in my life, that's for sure!

How can you be nicer? Here are my tips:

  • Compliment those around you for the small things that you notice.

  • Smile at people.

  • Don't judge.

  • Say please, thank you, and excuse me.

  • Say you are sorry.

  • Hold the door open.

  • Offer to help.

  • Support people in their decisions.

  • Look for the positive in any situation.

  • When someone is upset, share a kind word.

  • When you see someone drop something, help them pick it up.

  • Share.

I could continue the list, but hopefully by now you get the idea.


The lesson: Being nice takes a lot less energy than being miserable. Make it a habit!


Be Great!
