Do it for others, but also for yourself…

Well hello, my dear friends! I hope you are well and thank you for being with me today. Thank you for joining me for this episode of the Walk with Johan podcast. And today, as usual, we are going to talk about a topic of personal development.
So, before that, a little request, friends. You are thousands, even hundreds of thousands or in any case, for sure, tens of thousands, but not far from hundreds of thousands of people listening to this podcast every week and I thank you for that. But I see very few reviews, I see very few 5 stars on my podcast. What's going on? So there are a lot, but not a lot compared to the number of people that you are.
So if you want to help Français Authentique, go to the app that you're using and leave 5 stars. If it's the Français Authentique mobile app, put 5 stars there. If it's Apple Podcast, put 5 stars on the Français Authentique podcast there. If it's the Google Play Store or Google Podcast, same thing. I would be very grateful. Thank you very much for that.
And today, I would like to talk about something that I try to pay more attention to on a daily basis. I really try to make it something conscious, because it is only when you do something qatar whatsapp number data consciously, in a conscious way, well, that it works, that you really manage to give it all your attention and make it effective. It is simply… you will see, it is not much in any case on paper, but it is about being kind, being nice to strangers, to people I do not know. And it really starts with very small things.
Smiling at strangers you pass in the street… well, don’t do it in a very… how can I say, overly forceful way, because it could be taken the wrong way. People aren’t used to us being nice. So if you come along and you smile big, especially if you’re a man and you smile big at women, it could be misinterpreted if they’re strangers. But your smiles that show that you’re a nice person, quite simply. You can also let them speak, talk to strangers, be genuinely interested in them.
And it's something that I do more and more, not for my own personal interest, but to understand them better, to understand people better, quite simply. It's really against my nature, because I'm a rather shy person, rather introverted as we say in French, that is to say I feel more comfortable alone, I'm not comfortable in large groups, I'm not a person who has enormous charisma in a group, I don't feel super super good. If we have a table of 10 people, it's not my element. Of course, I like people, I like to chat with them, but by nature, I'm more comfortable alone or in a very small group with one or two people. It's my nature.
So for a long time, I tended to avoid large groups or to avoid talking to strangers. And now, I try not to force myself, because it would be too extreme to say it like that, but I try in any case to take the initiative to try to find out more about others, to find out what they do, how they see the current general situation, how they see the future. It's interesting to see the world not only through our eyes, not only through the media, not only through what we read, but also through the way people live life and experience the world in which we all live, quite simply.
