SuperFriend Friday

An “African proverb” says, “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

This week’s action item is to reach out to a friend or family member on Friday.  Contact someone you haven’t talked to in the last month, or the last year, because you were just too busy. Pick up the phone and dial their number. Leave a voice message instead of sending a text message. Texting is the lowest form of communication. Even ESP is more accurate!

Take note of how you feel after you have had a conversation with that person, preferably face to face, but at least voice to voice. Find the satisfaction about any aspect of that moment and savor the feeling. Let it simmer and inspire you to repeat frequently

Let me know in the comments below how taking this action feels to you. I look forward to hearing how each of us goes far together with our friends.
