Wisdom Before The Weekend Begins, #1: If They Care

Beware of those who only reach out or contact you when they think --  or they have heard -- something is wrong.

It may seem obvious, but if they're really concerned about you, they will be in touch consistently or until you tell them not to.

No one is ever too busy to do what's important to them.

A question may appear in one or more of these ways:

"I heard something happened. Are you OK?"

"I saw a news report saying your company is laying off. Will you be alright?"

"COVID is spiking in your (town, state, etc.). Have you been tested? Is everyone OK?"

You may hear a statement that sounds like this:

"I'm glad I don't live there."

"I'm so glad I'm blessed to be able to work from home."

"It's not good to take too many risks at a time like this. Maybe you shouldn't have moved for that job."

Remember: people who really care don't need a reason or an invitation to reach out. 

They won't mention a problem unless they're also mentioning a possible solution.

They reach out because they care. About. You.
