There are no such things as chance encounters
Success is rooted in relationships. When we take the time to invest in other people’s lives and build relationships, real transformation can take place in their lives and ours.
I don’t believe there is such a thing as chance encounters. I believe paths cross with purpose – and I’ve illustrated this with a personal story in today’s blog (Video Blog).
Congratulations to Kerry! and Downtown Charm in Glens Falls!
Thank you, Sara! Looking forward to meeting you again soon! I learned so much from your seminar and really enjoyed it. 🙂
I love your video, Donna. You come across so naturally. Do you rehearse at all, or are you just comfortable in front of a camera?
Your advice is so practical and simple, yet how often do we fail to make a point of doing it?
That reminds me. Chris and I were recently in a local Starbucks, and I saw one of the employees wear a T-shirt that said something like, you’re here alone, and I’m hear alone. Why don’t we introduce ourselves to each other and make new friends. (I’m afraid the T-shirt said it much better than I did, but you get the idea.)
Why do we find it so hard to initiate a conversation with someone new? No one likes to be rejected, but, really, who’s going to reject you if all you do is say hi and show a little kindness? And who knows? Such a small gesture could change your life forever–for the good.
Again, great job with the video.
Donna–thank you for this and for always making us feel so welcome. You & your crew made our opening amazing–we are so happy to have met you!
