β¨ Recognition Worth Noticing β¨

π What if you carried a notebook?
What if you made it your mission to notice?
To notice what was indispensable.
What was brilliant π‘.
What was quietly significant π±.
To jot it down ποΈ. To speak it out loud π€.
To let someone know:
βI saw that.β π
βI appreciate that.β π
βYou matter.β β€οΈ
It may sound simpleβbut itβs powerful.
π₯ It changes people.
π And it can change an entire culture.
It started in a classroom π.
When a student cut her bangs βοΈ or wore new sneakers πβif I didnβt notice, sheβd wait until I did.
But the moment I whispered, βI see how hard you’re working on your reading π,β
β¨ Her confidence soared for weeks.
That small act? It stuck with me.
Now I carry post-its in my purse π.
You might carry a phone π±, journal π, or planner π
.
Whatever it isβmake it your tool for noticing.
There’s always something worth celebrating in everyone you meet.
Every. Single. Day. π«
Most people are never told:
πΈ Youβre appreciated.
π Youβre beautiful.
π₯ Youβre inspiring.
πͺ Youβre capable.
Be the one who says it.
Be the difference. β€οΈβπ₯
Whether in a boardroom π©βπΌ or a coffee shop ββI learn names, offer compliments, and reflect humanity back to people.
The web is filled with people screaming:
βDo you see me?β π€
βDo I matter?β π€³
What if you looked up and gave them what they were really looking for?
This isnβt fluff.
This is leadership.
This is culture-building.
This is legacy. β¨
So Iβll ask again:
π What if you carried a notebook?
π¬ What if you wrote down what was beautiful, brave, or bold in someone elseβand TOLD them?
It costs almost nothing.
But the return?
π Immeasurable.
Start at home π‘.
Then at work πΌ.
Then with the stranger at the checkout line π.
π Use your eyes.
π Use your ears.
β€οΈ Use your heart.
Notice people.
Tell them what you saw.
Remind them they matter.
π± Watch how it changes them.
π Cherish how it changes you.
