<p>I did it.<br />
I added a <a href="http://www.getmotivation.com/photos/photos1.htm">photo album</a> to my site.</p>
<p>&#8220;This, &#8221; I thought, &#8220;I need to do. It will look more professional. It will help people see what I look like &#8212; even though that &#8216;s a bit scary! And, besides: it is fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>THEN CAME THE RESPONSES&#8230;</p>
<p>After placing the photo album on my site I immediately received a set of very positive emails.</p>
<p>The positive responses were gratifying. They also caused me to slow down and reflect about things &#8220;on the personal side of life.&#8221;</p>
<p>In essence, people said to me: &#8220;I got to know you a bit better.&#8221; &#8220;You were more than some guy who sent me an email newsletter at the beginning of my day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that remarkable?</p>
<p>People still value relationships.<br />
People still value the personal touch.  It is not out of vogue.</p>
<p>A few things in life never change, and the value of &#8220;the personal side of life&#8221; is one of those &#8220;few things.&#8221;</p>
<p>STOP AND REFLECT&#8230; FOR JUST A MOMENT</p>
<p>Take yesterday for instance: did you miss out on any opportunities to add the personal touch to an aspect of your day?</p>
<p>What about last week?<br />
Last month?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong: I love technology.  After all, that&#8217;s how I earn my living <img src='http://www.getmotivation.com/jhblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile On The Human Side Of Life: Making Life More Personal By Josh Hinds" class='wp-smiley' title="On The Human Side Of Life: Making Life More Personal By Josh Hinds" /> </p>
<p>But as my friend <a target="_blank" href="http://www.burg.com/">Bob Burg</a> says: &#8220;All things being equal, people will always choose to do business with those they like, know, and trust first.&#8221;</p>
<p>What did you do to have someone like you, know you or trust you recently?</p>
<p>Or here&#8217;s a better question: what did I do?</p>
<p>LET&#8217;S TRY SOMETHING TOGETHER</p>
<p>Why don&#8217;t we try  &#8212; you and me, that is.   Why don&#8217;t we try to think of creative ways to help people&#8230;</p>
<p>Like us<br />
Know us<br />
And trust us?</p>
<p>I am going to make an attempt.  Maybe even two.</p>
<p>And you?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s wishing you a blessed day, Josh Hinds<br />
