Show Some Appreciation. Do It Now.

Hello Friend,

I hope you are well,

I received a message from one of my readers. They said that my blog/writing has inspired them to start writing a book about there life and travel experiences. How amazing is that! It’s led me to think I should start doing the same and show some appreciation to those who inspire me too.

Cold Messaging

Over the past few weeks, I have messaged a few people who have inspired me to start writing, and who’s content I really enjoy. Now, many people don’t ever reply, which is obviously expected. But one writer did reply to one of my messages, he said:

Hi Tom,

Thanks for being a reader and taking the time to write.

Kind words like yours make the job much easier.

Warmly,

…Authors Name…

I lost nothing by dropping an email, and he appreciated I’d taken the time to message. If someone’s inspired you, let them know. Instead of not messaging someone at all, thinking, ‘ohhh they’ll never reply’. It doesn’t matter, just drop them a message, you might just make someone’s day.

Never Assume You’ll Get Another Chance

If someone has inspired you, or had a positive impact on you, let them know, and never assume you’ll get another chance to do so. As Marcus Aurelius says ‘You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think’. You might think about doing it tomorrow, but tomorrow might never come around. Do it now.

You have no idea how far a small act of kindness and a little appreciation can go, so, show some love people! And never take anything for granted.

See you next time,

Yours Sincerely,

Tom
