Just Five Minutes

Sometimes all it takes to make a difference in someone's life is five minutes.  

Five minutes to listen to a loved one tell you about his day. Five minutes to tell a joke and cheer someone up. Five minutes to tell a story to a child. Just by being present, by really paying attention during those five minutes, you can make a difference. You can show how much you care.

Just five minutes can make a difference in your life, too. By spending five minutes each day to really notice the things around you, you become more engaged, more aware, more involved in your own life. You understand yourself and your world more than you did just five minutes ago.

This holds true in business, romance, parenting--almost everything. When you spend just five minutes a day absolutely engaged with all your senses, all your mind, all your focus, you make a difference. Some people never do this. Most people don't do it daily. The few who do - they are the ones who make real differences.

How will you spend just five minutes today?
