“We are at our best when creating enduring relationships and personal connections. When we are fully engaged, we connect with, laugh with, and uplift the lives of our customers—even if it is just for a few moments. It’s really about human connection.”
—Howard Schultz, Starbucks
Carpe Momento — “Seize the Moment.”
There’s no better motto for reminding us that any connection with others— especially building relationships—depends on being fully engaged with them. When you are with others, BE THERE. Be there for your family, friends, and coworkers. Be there for someone and let someone be there for you. There’s a reason we’re called human beings and not human doings. At the end of the day, ask yourself one simple question: “How many people had a better day as a result of coming in contact with me?”
According to a study conducted by psychologists at Harvard University, adults spend only 50 percent of their time in the present moment. That means we are mentally checked out half of the time. Scientists also found that when we are in the present moment, we are at our happiest, no matter what we are doing.
