The title above is the lead sentence to an incident described by Lisa Ernst who shares this in her article Who Is Invisible To You? Here’s the powerful insight she experienced one morning while grocery shopping:
“There’s a man who works in the produce department at my neighborhood grocery store. He’s usually present in the morning when I shop there, but for more years than I’d like to admit, he was essentially invisible to me. One day that changed. My hands were dripping wet from handling some particularly wet produce, and he rushed over with a paper towel for me to dry myself with. This simple act of kindness penetrated my heart. Tears welled up as I realized how often I had overlooked him, unconsciously making him invisible.”
Today as you go about your day, ask yourself: who is invisible to me?
