My friend just bought me lunch. Technically, I think his company bought me lunch, because we were discussing leadership strategies, etc. Still, it’s nice when someone else buys lunch.
Are you more often the lunch buyer or the lunch receiver? It might change in different seasons. I’m typically the lunch buyer, but not this month. Friends have been quick to pick up my tab… and I’m not mad about it. ?
But how about this… In a culture where people are convinced that “there are no free lunches,” what if you bought lunch… with no strings attached? You’re not keeping tabs… you’re not working an angle… you’re just being kind and generous.
Even better, what if you bought lunch without the person even realizing it? Like when they go to the restroom… or if you pay for the table next to you. Those simple acts of generosity put a smile on people’s faces and can change their entire day. Kindness and generosity are contagious. One act, initiated by you, might have a shocking and profound ripple effect. So, why not?
Buy a lunch. Change the world.
