The Gift of Dignity


35 seconds



Have you given the gift of dignity lately?

Here are some ways to give this esteeming gift.
 
-Smile at a wait-person or retail sales clerk

-Look at your spouse/children

-Listen to your spouse/children by taking your hands and eyes off your iGadgets and the TV

-Appreciate small improvements in employees

-Thank a vendor for producing on time

-When criticizing, talk about the behavior, not the character of the person

-Show up on time

When we give the gift of dignity we leave room for personal acknowledgement, personal growth and the ability for one to hold onto oneself.  We preserve the individual without destroying their dreams, ideas and self-respect. 

What a gift to leave behind.
