After 4 years, I decided that my website needed a redesign. My web designer and I agreed on the work to be done and the timing and I couldn’t wait to see my new website online.
Unfortunately, she wrote me twice that she had to postpone the launch date. I could have complained to her about it and think: “Why is this happening to me?”
But would this make her feel better? Would it make me feel better?
Instead, I told her how grateful I was for the work she had already done and how much I liked the updated pages so far.
I realized something was still missing on my revised website. Many people ask me about what I do or what I have done in the past. Personally, I care more about how people get things done and whether we share the same underlying values. This is why I have added an extra page and decided to start sharing ‘Stories’. I choose trust and kindness. I believe this will bring out the best in people. Having a positive impact on other people gives me positive energy and joy.
My web designer told me later that my kind words had made her day. I hereby thank her for delaying the launch of my website. She has given me a new insight. My new website will be available soon!
