The other day, I received a note from my friend Dave congratulating me on reaching 750,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, a milestone I’ve worked hard to achieve. But Dave, being the thoughtful person he is, didn’t just stop at a simple congratulations. He reminded me to truly appreciate this moment because, as he put it, “Soon you’ll reach one million, and the excitement will wear off—so appreciate it now.”

Dave has this uncanny ability to send messages that hit just when I need them the most. His words always seem to arrive at those times when I’m feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or battling that nagging voice that says “You’re not doing enough.” His message was more than just a pat on the back; it was a reminder to pause, to breathe, and to savor the moment. 

It got me thinking.

Dave took a moment out of his day to send a message that brightened mine, lifted my spirits, and shifted my outlook. It was a small gesture, but its impact was profound. And it made me realize something important—it doesn’t take much to do that for someone else. A few kind words can be a beacon of light in someone’s day, a reminder that they are seen, appreciated, and valued. 

We all get caught up in the whirlwind of our daily lives. We think about our friends and family and celebrate their milestones in our hearts, but how often do we take that extra step to let them know? A simple note, a quick message, a few words of encouragement can make all the difference in the world.

Think about the last time someone reached out to you unexpectedly with kind words. How did it make you feel? Now imagine being that person for someone else. It doesn't take much— just a few minutes of your time, but the impact can be transformative.

So today, I encourage you to be a Dave in someone’s life. Reach out to a friend, a colleague, or a family member. Congratulate them on their successes, remind them to savor their achievements, or simply let them know you’re thinking of them. Your words might arrive at the perfect moment, turning an ordinary day into something extraordinary.

In a world that often feels chaotic and fast-paced, be the calm, the encouragement, the reminder to appreciate the here and now.

Wishing you a week filled with connection, kindness, and moments of genuine appreciation.
