Collecting People

Posted on July 1, 2009

When you meet someone for the first time and begin to speak with them, how long before you find something or someone in common? Everyone you meet has something in common with you. Even other drivers on a road are using the same road. People who live The Golden Rule already know this little secret: As you learn more about someone it builds the commonality between you.

One of the LGR staff members knew someone from when he was going to college. This person had moved his family a lot over the years. He and his family had a belief in listening to the little nudges that helped them know where to be and what to do. Over time they got to make quite a few “friends,” and they made it a point to get to know as many people as they could in the time they were at any given place they lived. After a while, they coined the phrase of “colleting people.” They had friends they kept in touch with from every place they lived. What an awesome collection – “Friends.” It makes us wonder, what are we collecting? Things or relationships?

Life’s Golden Rule teaches the precept that one of the things we take with us is our relationships. Let’s be “People Collectors” as we go about our life living The Golden Rule.

    “You can make more friends in 2 months by becoming interested
    in other people than in 2 years of trying to get other people
    interested in you.”
    Dale Carnegie

    By learning to find someone or something interesting,
    we become more interesting ourselves.

    Be kind, be loving, be the person God wants you to be
    and interesting things will happen.
