In Others’ Words: The “More” of Getting to Know You

Everyone has value.

The trick is to take the time to discover it.

Perhaps you recall the musical “The King and I.” One of my favorite songs from that Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is “Getting to Know You,” with lyrics about “getting to know you, getting to know all about you …”

Sometimes we forget the fine art of getting to know others. Of valuing someone else enough to discover who they are. What they like. What they dislike. What they know that we don’t know … we miss the joy of discovering who someone else is and how it enriches our lives so much more than talking on and on and on about ourselves.

Let me stop talking here and share a video with you that reminded me in such an eloquent way how everyone has value.

Yes, we all know something that someone else doesn’t know … and we should take the time to value others.

But it’s also good to remember that everyone has value no matter what they do or do not know.

In Your Words: Tell me something fun that you know — I’d love to hear that today! And also, who in your life helps remind you that you are valuable?
