Rule 51 - Ok so Valentines Day is a made up “Hallmark holiday”, but that doesn’t mean it should be avoided. Whether people want to admit it or not, everyone has some inner desire to be wanted or to know that someone out there cares about them as a person. Unfortunately, when this one particular day rolls around each year not everyone out there has that someone special to show them they are loved and appreciated. If you have someone special to shower with affection on this day you need to do it. Don’t simply back off and claim it is nothing more than a bogus holiday. Obviously, you should show them you care every day of the year, but follow through today by kicking it up a notch.
Something else you should do which I feel is actually just as important (if not moreso) is to show someone that may be having a tough time today that you are thinking about them. I’m sure we all know someone who may be taking today a little harder for a variety of reasons like recently broken up, divorced, lonely, widower, etc. What can you do? How about sending that person flowers, calling them to chat, or invite them out for lunch or dinner to get them out of their home and into a social setting around other people. No one likes to feel alone and this feeling is amplified on a day like today. Show someone you care about them…that is the path of the awesome.
