The power of a ‘Thank You’ and a hand written note
When was the last time you wrote a hand written letter to someone? The last time you wrote a love letter? Truly thanked someone for the role that they have played in your life? This week we present you with a challenge. In fact, one of our favourite bloggers, Scott Dinsmore over at Live Your Legend presents you with a challenge. He calls it, ‘The Gratitude Challenge’. It’s Thanksgiving over in America, and while not everyone in the world celebrates it, the idea of thanking people couldn’t fit better with You Can’s core belief that surrounding yourself with incredible, supportive people makes living life your way a heck of a lot easier.
So, are you in?
How many hand written notes of thanks can you write in one week?
Head on over to the Live Your Legend blog, check out the TED video he recommends on hand written letters, join in their discussion, and be inspired by how many notes others are writing by looking at the comments. And do tell us what you are up to and how many notes you have challenged yourself to write this week by commenting below.
Me? I will write 5 notes this week, plus the one to all of you above.
I’m also committing to these handwritten thank you’s! I decided that the challenge of one week was too much pressure, so instead I’m using the run up to Christmas to thank a range of people that have made a real difference to my life this year. So far, I have written one thank you, and I got a great response. What about you?
