Out of the blue, Mike calls his friend. He goes: “Things have been tough lately. I need your energy.”
They chat for not even 15 minutes, but it makes a huge difference to Mike. He feels uplifted and grateful.
These types of calls are too rare. Mike felt comfortable being real. He knew that he could count on his friend and that just a quick call with her would help him cope better with the stress in his life.
Human connection is powerful. And it is underutilized.
Use the people in your life when your battery needs recharging. And pick up the phone when the Mike in your life calls.
Who will you turn to the next time you feel down ?
How can you make sure you’re there for each other when a boost is needed?
