I had lunch this week with my insurance agent and friend of many years. He mentioned that he and his wife were struggling with the decision of what school would be best for their daughter next year. Ah, the decision making process! Such a challenge but one we all have to deal with.
He mentioned that she had been accepted to two very wonderfuls schools. How to choose? One factor that he mentioned resonated with me. One school had sent an acceptance letter. The other had sent a lovely packet with brochures describing all the school offered, letters of welcome from various parties and much more. Interesting. It reminded me of a quote that is said repeatedly at any Peak Potential seminar, "How you do anything is how you do eveything." Or when Oprah says love is in the details.
That wonderful packet says much about the quality of the school. If they're willing to take the time to create such a welcoming invitation to their school, then they probably pay as much detail to everything else they do there.
Are you paying attention to the little details of life? Showing the people you care about how much they mean to you by the little extras you do? Applying for jobs with good quality paper, sending a thank you note to follow up? Despite the economy, despite how busy we are, despite the time it takes - take a moment to think about how important the little things are. And in difficult times, they mean even more because so many of us feel overwhelmed by circumstances and events.
