Sometimes we use words without thinking too much about their meaning, without putting the intention or the weight behind them which they might deserve. We say "You're welcome" without feeling that someone is welcome, or "good bye" without remembering the original meaning of the phrase - "God be with ye". Similarly, French people say "Adieu" and Spaniards say "Adiós" without thinking of them as blessings.
However, in some parts of the world, people do mean what they say. In Thailand, the common greeting and farewell is "sawatdii", which is actually the Sanskirt word "svasti" meaning "goodness". Every hello is a blessing in Thai, and when you hear Thai people say it, you can feel the goodness.
How can you use your words to bless people, to let them feel welcome in your presence, to increase their comfort? How much of a hello is your "Hello", and can you introduce yourself and reveal a little of your soul? Let's talk about it in this episode of The Paradise Paradox!
