Routine Not So Routine for Some

Does it seem as though your day repeats the same thing of the previous day? It is certainly possible that it seems that way for you. But I am just as certain that it doesn't seem that way to the persons you engage. So, the soldier I talk with on my routine day is not so routine for that soldier. Though dealing with your children seems to be the same every day, it is not that way to your children. Your job may seem the same to you every day, but to your customers it is not the same. Customers need what you provide whether information, guidance, or auto parts. Every day is a new day. Like Friday night as I drove to Pope Air Force Base to welcome home soldier who had just returned from 15 months of duty in Iraq. Or like Saturday morning as I participated in training volunteers who will assist military family members. Both a routine responsibility for me, but definitely not routine for my audience. Reframe your day to see from your "customer's" point of view. A great way to dispel the routine. Dr. D.
