I would have to say, out of all the compliments I could give or receive- being labeled as considerate is definitely at the top of the list. Consideration means selflessness, looking out for others and putting their needs and comfort before your own. It is anticipating a want before it is verbalized. It crosses over into all kinds of relationships too.

It could be getting a glass of water for your significant other before going to bed. Or, offering to help carry your neighbor’s groceries up the stairs. Or even giving a compliment to a stranger. The point is- you are thinking externally. It is not about you, but the people around you- people of all walks and relations to you. Your energy is focused outwards on making their experience while you are around a little bit better. I love thinking of it in that sense.

The world can seem so crazy and busy, but when you make the effort to place your attention on just one small area that can have a big impact- changes do occur. So, I urge you to shift your mind-set and make consideration your new focus.
