One of the emails I received this morning came from my landlord. It was a reminder about rent. Yeah, the usual stuff, but the closing statement of the message struck me. It said, "Make it a great day!" I liked that statement a lot.
I have always given the usual "have a great day" statement when I conclude a meeting or a message. This alternative I saw in my email this morning is much more encouraging and empowering, I think. It acknowledges the fact that I am ultimately responsible for how my day goes, particularly how I feel about it. It is fine and good to wish someone a good day, but I think it may be better to encourage someone to make this day a great one.
Therefore, I am grateful for that encouraging closing remark in my inbox this morning.
