1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:07,940 --> 00:00:10,051 my one small act is to be available . 3 00:00:10,051 --> 00:00:12,218 We're in difficult times right now and 4 00:00:12,218 --> 00:00:14,329 no matter what you're going through , 5 00:00:14,329 --> 00:00:16,607 you know that somebody cares about you . 6 00:00:16,607 --> 00:00:18,662 One small act that I will do here at 7 00:00:18,662 --> 00:00:20,829 the clinic is when asking somebody how 8 00:00:20,829 --> 00:00:22,940 their day is going to actually listen 9 00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:25,051 to what they have to say and not just 10 00:00:25,051 --> 00:00:27,051 expect them to say I'm okay and you 11 00:00:27,051 --> 00:00:29,990 want My one small act is I will be 12 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,620 present . Um , you don't have to have 13 00:00:32,620 --> 00:00:34,731 all the solutions . You don't have to 14 00:00:34,731 --> 00:00:36,787 have all the answers . Sometimes you 15 00:00:36,787 --> 00:00:39,220 just gotta be there one small act . One 16 00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:40,942 thing that I will do is to pay 17 00:00:40,942 --> 00:00:44,420 attention . one day I had someone come 18 00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:46,587 back to me after I said I was fine and 19 00:00:46,587 --> 00:00:48,920 he said no , really ? How are you doing ? 20 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,198 And I said , yeah , I'm not doing well . 21 00:00:51,198 --> 00:00:53,309 So that made a big difference to me . 22 00:00:53,309 --> 00:00:55,364 And so I will pay it forward and pay 23 00:00:55,364 --> 00:00:57,587 attention when I noticed things are not 24 00:00:57,587 --> 00:01:00,780 right . One small act is important here 25 00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:03,820 at the clinic because a lot of times we 26 00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:05,876 go about our day to day just getting 27 00:01:05,876 --> 00:01:08,270 the job done and we don't realize that 28 00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:10,670 there's another side to folks that work 29 00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:14,280 here . So for me , um , I 30 00:01:14,290 --> 00:01:16,390 really resonate when people that I'm 31 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:18,501 walking by , take the time to look me 32 00:01:18,501 --> 00:01:20,760 in the eye and smile at me . And so 33 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,704 it's been really hard during covid 34 00:01:22,704 --> 00:01:24,760 because we all have these masks on , 35 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:24,710 right . And so you can't tell if people 36 00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:26,877 are engaging with you or not , but you 37 00:01:26,877 --> 00:01:29,099 can see the twinkle in their eyes , you 38 00:01:29,099 --> 00:01:31,266 can see their eyes crinkle up a little 39 00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:33,266 bit . And so my one small act is to 40 00:01:33,266 --> 00:01:35,860 make an effort to smile genuinely at 41 00:01:35,870 --> 00:01:37,814 every single person that I come in 42 00:01:37,814 --> 00:01:39,930 contact with , to share just that one 43 00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:42,040 human interaction where you can meet 44 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,873 somebody in the eye and say good 45 00:01:43,873 --> 00:01:46,040 morning or hi , how's your day going ? 46 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,140 But really give them the fellow , I 47 00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:50,206 don't want to say love of humanity , 48 00:01:50,206 --> 00:01:52,206 but hey , love of humanity when you 49 00:01:52,206 --> 00:01:52,010 smile at someone , you're connecting 50 00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:54,560 with them . And I really feel like for 51 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,250 us to all consider just doing one small 52 00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,620 act every single day On an individual 53 00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:03,560 basis . one on 1 um , 54 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,820 is at its very basic , the one thing 55 00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:09,820 that we can do to connect with each 56 00:02:09,820 --> 00:02:11,876 other and to show each other that we 57 00:02:11,876 --> 00:02:13,620 really do care . Yeah .
