  Today's challenge is about thoughtfulness.
  
  Let's face it; seeing another as a person is not a mindless feeling that rides on waves of emotion and falls asleep mentally. If your thinking doesn't mature enough to constantly include the other person, you catch yourself being surprised rather than being thoughtful. Thoughtlessness is the silent enemy of a responsive relationship. When was the last time you spent a few minutes thinking about how you could better understand and demonstrate thoughtfulness to your other person?
  
  Today's Challenge:
  Contact your other person sometime during the business of the day. Have no agenda other than asking how he or she is doing and if there is anything you could do for them.
  
  After you've completed the challenge reflect on the following questions:
  1 What did you learn about yourself or the other person by doing this today?
  2. How could this become a more natural, routine, and genuinely helpful part of your lifestyle?

  1. This is the hardest to keep up on.
  2. Unknown. Although I thought a lot about it. I have no answer for how to maintain this as a routine. I've been able to do it for periods of time in the past, but it never permanently sticks. :-)
