Pay Attention

How often do we go through our daily routines as human robots with little awareness of those in our surroundings? The root of “attention” is “to attend to.” That means that every act of acknowledgement or kindness begins with “attending to” the other person. To be at our best in our human encounters, get off of auto pilot and pay attention.
