    Boy oh boy is this true. It is so important to remember this quote. The impact that we have on people stays with them more than anything which is a great opportunity to make a difference daily. It may be the person at the check out line or the person that we pass while taking a walk. Every encounter is a chance to make someone smile.

    I have quoted this often to my clients (and my kids) because it should be on our mind in all that we do.

    As always, good words Michael.
