A co-worker brought in an old movie from home that she’d thought I’d enjoy. For two weeks, it sat on my coffee table. While interested, it just wasn’t a priority for me. And as more days passed, I began to feel a sense of urgency to watch it – to get the movie back to her and because I knew she was waiting to hear my review. So I watched it, even if reluctantly, and while I enjoyed the movie, the highlight was the smile on her face as we talked about our favorite parts.
What if I made a greater effort to make things that weren’t a priority for me a priority simply because of the joy I knew it might bring to the other person?
