When you are in a restaurant, or at the mall, or sitting in your office, look around and notice how many people are bored by their own existence. Could you make them smile by walking up to them and comfortably saying "hello"? More than likely the answer to this is yes. People are always looking for the next great thing to make them smile. They're waiting as they work toward a goal, they're waiting for that girl with the blonde hair and long legs to call them back, they're waiting to "stumble upon" the next great change in their lives. Many people go through their days as zombies. They've created comfortable worlds for themselves to live in, and they have become afraid to challenge that comfort. As a result they are bored.
The other day I was at Starbucks, grabbing the daily cup, when I happened upon a pretty little blonde. "Happened upon" may not be the right words, maybe "ran directly into because I wanted to" would be more accurate. After 5 seconds, she was smiling. Ten minutes later I was leaving with her number, a free coffee, and a few new contagious smiling faces added to the world.
They say that life is what happens while your waiting for your plans to work out. I wasted the first twenty odd years of my life, sitting, waiting, and being bored. I realized how rare it was for a stranger to jump into my life and make it interesting. I decided that I wanted to be that rare one in a million stranger that jumps into everyone else's life, even if just for a moment. It keeps my life entertaining.
Don't let them sit there and wait. Don't ignore the cute girl sitting next to you because you don't know what to say. Make their day, make a change in their lives, and in turn yours. Be the one to say hello, and see just how quickly a complete stranger can become a good friend by opening your mouth and letting your fear slip away...
