Hi everyone,
This week’s Motivational Monday theme is “extend a hand”. The handshake is an offering of respect. When you first meet someone, a handshake can express a lot about who you are. Nonverbal communication is just as important if not more than verbal communication.
Indira Gandhi said, “You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.”
We need to put aside our differences and open ourselves up to new people and experiences. If we remain closed off and in a bubble there is no room for growth and education. Ignorance is such a blemish in our world. Even if we are afraid or don’t agree, it’s still important to extend a helping hand, greet each other with open minds and take a step forward even when it’s safer to take a few steps back.
Extending a Hand,
Janine
