People desire a variety of events, actions, and responses. No two people are the same, but in general, most people positively respond to good manners, optimism, care, kindness, and love. As we connect with the many diverse people in our lives, we have to think about who we are and what those people need and desire from us.
As I think of this diversity, I am thinking of the many different ways people I know like to communicate. Some are letter writers while others prefer a phone call. Some like to connect often with depth and others prefer infrequent more superficial connection and conversation. Still more prefer active engagement while others like quieter, more passive activity.
Going forward, I want to think more sensitively about the many varying needs and interests of the people I love and care for. Onward.
