You will never forget how Lilly made you feel it’s not about coffee. Maya Angelou “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
A friend of mine once told me, "There's no such thing as bad weather. Only inappropriate clothing." It's all about being prepared, having the right attitude, and being diligent. Go change someone's life!
I study childcare and my teacher loves that quote! She was teaching a unit about outdoor play and she used it in a more literal way: give children appropriate clothing and let them play outside. Don't let the weather stop their fun and learning. She also used it in the way you mentioned. I'd never heard of it before she mentioned it that day and it's nice to see it.
Yes. Very true. I came to USA in 1971 from India. Looking for a job in down town Chattanooga, kind of lost in New country. In department store I entered in yo an elevator and a nice lady gave a smile. At that time there were hardly any immigrants like me. That one smile from a stranger made me happy and I still remember and talk about it. I do not remember the face but I still cherish that smile from a beautiful southern lady. Thank you.

What you think about is affected by all of the above...if you wanna ignore who or where or how or whatever the heck you are just to get to that state state of happiness then you’re lying to yourself and becoming less aware of reality ..your logic is so shallow
Not everyone happiness lay in being open to strangers though. Why is it in America people expect you to be friendly rather than respectful and moral? That's how I'd talk to a friend. Not a stranger , I'd be nice and respectful but if theybwere to ask personal question like where am I headed or etc, why is it I would be demonized for not acting like a friend to a stranger ?
It cost absolutely nothing for you to treat people nice. I encourage you to learn how to smile and start conversations with people it can be very rewarding
I live for those kinds of conversations! They are so empowering for everyone. It can turn your day around. Thank you to all the "Lilies" out there. Blessings to all! 1💗
No one knows this but when this story came out lily got a raise and a small bonus from Starbucks. She decided to use her bonus money and buy her co-workers gifts. I know this because my mom has worked with her the past ten years. She’s also came to my house a couple of times for Holidays and she’s overall awesome
He was brought to awareness by an Aware spirit. What will he do with this awareness; what will we all do to spread goodness around the world? Small gestures matter and cause growth like putting a tiny seed in the ground
There's many strangers like this. It's her appearance that leaves a trail of direct memory, not her service itself. Men remember all types of interactions based on thr women's looks and even more if they showed them any sign of interest, genuine or not.
If you are bored, start giving! I love it! Beautiful stories like this keep me going and make me continue making my own videos to inspire people and help them live their dreams!
My old coworker at a juice bar was exactly like this! Such mad respect for these people. It rubbed off on me a little when we worked together, since I’ve left it takes a little more effort. It is so easy to get stuck in a mindless loop of just getting through life. But it feels much more rewarding to spread happiness like this woman did.
Rn I am at an all time low in my life. My family is in debt, the love of my life moved to Aus few months ago and while doing so broke up with me for another man. I was suppose to go as well, but knowing my family's debt I cannot leave them like this and put my apartment on mortgage to sponsor my studies and a new life there. I really want to go out and make a life in a different country, but I love my family more and knowing she is having the time of her life there has made me miserable. Tried everything, but I am consumed by her thoughts and sadness. If it wasn't for my parents I would have ended it all. Now, I came across this video and this literally made me cry. I am scared, demotivated, vulnerable, doubtful about my future, still in love with her, struggling with low self-esteem, but I know one thing, I might be all this right now, in future I shall not be. I know things are beyond my control, but one day all this shall change. I just want to make it happen, however, the thoughts of her and my time together, knowing she dumped me right before leaving, kills me every minute.
Absolutely loved this - I try to be Lily everyday, and it takes work. People ask me or wonder if I’m just naturally happy all the time. My response is that I’m intentional in how I present myself with an open heart, I challenge myself to rise above the minutia of life, and not let my light be tamped down. It’s about being intentionally positive and being present to share my light.
Ultra happy that this came up in my recommended. I finished a night shift at work and it's that ash feeling where you know you are here just to kill time you need to use for sleep, ....but I'm so happy I clicked on this. Had to hear what changed over a cuppa coffee! Helped me realise something I can use when I get up! Bless all the people here who watched this, we all are seeking. God bless.
A simple yet awesome way of making the best of the day. A cup of coffee served by someone with high level customer service skill, and a smile helps the day go by a little easier. I don't need much to be truly happy.
Wow. So many great things in this vid. Focus on being helpful > being successful. I work in healthcare and can attest: the more I help people, the more people tend to help me which is SO NECESSARY when one works in the Emergency Department.
Be happy at this point! Don’t look back to the past! Be like a Lilly, be sincere, funny and affable. Probably there are so few people like a Lilly now. So I’d like to order Lilly’s coffee with pumpkin and nutmeg 😉. This video really animated, it's one of the most positive videos that I’ve ever seen 💜
I facilitate leadership classes and also new hire orientations. I play this for every class. And I also play it for myself and my trainers every day. Keeps the focus where it needs to be
I loved this reminder to be present full of joy despite how you feel. It makes you wonder what kind of life Lily previously had but regardless she chooses to focus on the good. WWLD = What Would Lily Do. Now substitute your own name in this phrase and go make a difference today! 3... 2... 1...
I related with Lily and totally adore passing on the happiness... I do hear that you made my day or I needed to talk to someone like you today... Yay Lily way to go!!!
This clip was shared during a meeting today at work. I was so touched that I broke down and cried. I am inspired to become a "Lily". Thank you for sharing this!
I'm pouring happiness into people's life! Absolutely love that! You want to be helpful not and not always about you. I think you'll be successful if you focus on serving others, and adding values to their lives.
Probably, it's one of the most positive videos that I have ever seen. I understood that i could find happiness anywhere else : in the airport, in a line in a shop etc. We should be halpful everywhere. This video helped to focus on the main things.
I find myself smiling when seeing and hearing this....what a great story...it is so true how we can all impact each other positively and unfortunately negatively.....simple life lesson...be nice its contagious..may it forward...someone may really need it! God bless and safe and happy 4th of July!
It's what some of us do. We find it easy to be kind and loving to others. It fills us with a sense of love. Gratitude. I mean, free hugs? Anytime! These are the things most needed in our lives. Genuine kindness for our fellow humans. I've been chastised and ridiculed for being this way sadly. In the mean time... maybe I can make some coffee ❤plant seeds of hope🌱🌱whenever you can❤you never know who's life you could change 🙄
Absolutely brilliant! This is such an amazing story. Focusing on being helpful and choosing to show up consistently, what a simple, but powerful message.
This is a great story by Ryan, I had the opportunity to great him live at an event early in April. He is awesome. The story is fantastic, we should all be like her.
Honestly, I felt happy watching this video! What a great video! No idea how this came into my recommendation but I'm happy it did. Have a nice day whoever is watching this!! 😁😁
I really enjoyed this video! It really shows how you talk to a customer effects their day because you never know what their going through so you always need to be happy and kind to customers so they will never forget their experience at Maurices and so they can tell people how amazing the culture Maurices has.
Thank you! This is exactly the video I needed today. A day I taught was bad. Well right here right now, I made the choice that today is not as bad as I taught it was... It actually was pretty good. Thank you for this, thank you for opening my eyes today.
I have gotta say, I live in central MN, and dont fly very often, but when I do, it is through Minneapolis. And when it is time for the flight, I am gonna head to terminal D, and see if I can find Lily, because she sounds like an amazing person, and could use some serious appreciation.
It was amazing story about people's sincere. It's extraordinary situation when just serving a coffee change your mind. When I heard though news that my grandfather has terminal diagnosis it was so pretty heavy in my heart. But my positive talks help him to be strong.
Lily is a true barista......we (barista's) are not just serving coffee we are pouring happines...coffee to us is part ritual, part relationship and part hope.
I’ve really been raised on the importance of being successful. I’ve had to try to learn how to be happy on my own though. Unfortunately I have a habit of negativity
I wish people understood this about work life. Stop- not- being your best just bc your not the CFO of a company. You are important! all jobs are important.

The model who plays Lily is cute and a beautiful smile with sprinkling eyes 😍😙
There aren't many people like Lilly...God Bless Her : )
Anil Kumar :)
There also aren't many people like Ryan Estis who take the time to poetically spread this positive story. God bless them both.
My name is lilly thankyou 😊
Amen!
Which makes it so special and memorable when you meet someone like Lily 😊
*Happiness is an attitude, not a destination. Be friendly and spend time with people, especially the ones you love. This is an ingredient for a happier life.*
What if other people don’t want to spend time with you because you are boring/nerdy/uninteresting/etc.
Aerohk continue being friendly until you find the people that are willing to. Don’t say there aren’t any because they’re out there
@@aerohk Then learn that true happiness comes from within. I don't need to be around others to be happy.
There is nothing called happiness. Can u define happiness?
Whoever is reading this, I hope you get through all the difficult time you're facing right now. I know you will! Have a nice day :))
You’ve actually cheered me up thanks
Kenyce thank you so much
Thanks, You too.
People like you are the only thing keeping the world afloat
Thank you!!!!
Whoever reading this, you are beautiful, have a wonderful day ❤️
Thank you:)
I am cute 🌻
No u ❤
God bless you. Same to you ❤️❤️
if everyone is beautiful than no one is beautiful. So whoever reading this, you are all ugly including me as the ugliest. Have a nice day :)
I shed a tear when he said "I'm pouring happiness". It was beautiful.
And everybody clapped

I still remember everything including the emotions.
Man that's a quote on the wall of my college
A friend of mine once told me, "There's no such thing as bad weather. Only inappropriate clothing." It's all about being prepared, having the right attitude, and being diligent. Go change someone's life!
Wonderful!
I study childcare and my teacher loves that quote! She was teaching a unit about outdoor play and she used it in a more literal way: give children appropriate clothing and let them play outside. Don't let the weather stop their fun and learning. She also used it in the way you mentioned. I'd never heard of it before she mentioned it that day and it's nice to see it.
A great sentiment thanks for this!
"You never know when People will need You to be your Best." ~Powerful~
Yes. Very true.
I came to USA in 1971 from India. Looking for a job in down town Chattanooga, kind of lost in New country. In department store I entered in yo an elevator and a nice lady gave a smile. At that time there were hardly any immigrants like me. That one smile from a stranger made me happy and I still remember and talk about it.
I do not remember the face but I still cherish that smile from a beautiful southern lady.
Thank you.
*Humans are dependant on socialising and the feeling of belonging.*
You can come a long way just by smiling and greeting people, like you would want for yourself.
*Treat others like you want to be treated.*
I've been happy most of my life. I attract people with my great attitude.

Life Progress - Health, Wealth, & Happiness Channel no way! I’m reading his book right now .
What you think about is affected by all of the above...if you wanna ignore who or where or how or whatever the heck you are just to get to that state state of happiness then you’re lying to yourself and becoming less aware of reality ..your logic is so shallow
I will ty😍
@Your Dad your at your worst!!!
Honestly I thought Lily would eventually be his wife or something
Lol thats exactly what i thought!
Me too
Lol same
Me too.
Are all of you not married.

Im bad with conversations, and i always make things awkward😦😕
Fryday Cooper same...I’m trying to work on my social skills but I’m really bad with talking to strangers :/
@@somo522 same but the more we do it the better we get at it
Truth
Exactly ❤️
Being in the Service Industry for 40yrs , it always amazes me who you will meet....and being honestly caring will attract magical things
The little things matter. Trust me.
I live for those kinds of conversations! They are so empowering for everyone. It can turn your day around. Thank you to all the "Lilies" out there. Blessings to all! 1💗
HeatherG 3003 I had one yesterday. Somehow the sky was purple and shades of pink as dawn became day
I hope to be a Lily..
😇
No one knows this but when this story came out lily got a raise and a small bonus from Starbucks. She decided to use her bonus money and buy her co-workers gifts. I know this because my mom has worked with her the past ten years. She’s also came to my house a couple of times for Holidays and she’s overall awesome
Say hello to Lilly as the whole story started with her and her beautiful nature.
Well done
Anyone in this comment list notice how aware HE is ? Lily is great. But he brought this to all of us
Kudos man!
True..great insight
He was brought to awareness by an Aware spirit. What will he do with this awareness; what will we all do to spread goodness around the world? Small gestures matter and cause growth like putting a tiny seed in the ground
I come by this video once in a while to remember how to be grateful with what I have, as simple as that. Thanks Goalcast.
Happiness also comes from good relationships, and a sense of purpose.
For sure purpose
I love how just one stranger can make people change their life !
Give me a room of strangers
a room of them ! There aren't many people like Lilly...
Yes...little by little...it will happen
There's many strangers like this. It's her appearance that leaves a trail of direct memory, not her service itself. Men remember all types of interactions based on thr women's looks and even more if they showed them any sign of interest, genuine or not.

True that!
I wish the world was filled with Lily’s.
Excessively touching. Truly inspiring and so very meaningful. After one of the worst days, this video makes the world make sense again.

This is Lily. She serves coffee but still happy. Be like Lilly....
she's happy because as she said, she doesn't serve coff, she pours happiness :)
Tastes like happy
I see nothing sad about making coffee

best words to conclude @04:42
Be your best self.
I had someone that attended to me like this some years back until now I keep going to buy from that shop just to see the ladies smiles 😃
The happiest people, I think, are those who are truly themselves even when it is uncomfortable.
The Same Spirit is inside all of us....if it weren't for our adopted egos!!! ☮️

Yes, we should learn from others as well because sometimes we get a lot of information about them. Spread happiness and be happy.
A simple yet awesome way of making the best of the day. A cup of coffee served by someone with high level customer service skill, and a smile helps the day go by a little easier. I don't need much to be truly happy.
Every once in a while I need to come back to this. It’s truly an important message.
Wow. So many great things in this vid. Focus on being helpful > being successful. I work in healthcare and can attest: the more I help people, the more people tend to help me which is SO NECESSARY when one works in the Emergency Department.
This is the perfect example of happiness is a choice!
This is 100% gold. 100% truth. Thank you for this, and God bless you, Lily.
Be happy at this point!
Don’t look back to the past!
Be like a Lilly, be sincere, funny and affable. Probably there are so few people like a Lilly now.
So I’d like to order Lilly’s coffee with pumpkin and nutmeg 😉. This video really animated, it's one of the most positive videos that I’ve ever seen 💜

This world needs more Lily even I can be one of them. The story touched my heart, thank you Goalcast.
This brought tears to my eyes, what a beautiful person that Lily is
Your simple happy Smile can save a life, agree?
This video is old, but I'm searching this man's Twitter and ask him permission to make an animation on this story, this is beautiful.

Swap fear out for Love.
Life will flow with Joy

“You never know when someone needs you to be your best.”✨
I hope you all get through the tough times and have a great life
I just love the smile of the people in the video. It instantly gives me positive vibe!
Thank you for sharing this :) ♡ Good people always bring joy, for a candle loses nothing in lighting another. #LoveToAll Xx
I aim to live my life like Lilly everyday❤️. I think I was born this way, but I strive to inspire others to do the same! Great video.
Whoever she is, she has a big heart!! Best motivational video
This right here just spoke levels to me. Thank you Ryan. I’ve heard this 100x bit just now, my heart just heard it again for the first time. 🇺🇸♥️
Who ever sees this I love you as a fellow human being and continue kicking butt and smiling and growing because your worth it:)
Sure whatever you're going through is gonna be dust soon. Keep loving yourself and have a wonderful rest of your day!
Hope someone is there for Lily when she is down. I should get a job serving coffee.
I haven't felt that Christmasy joy feel in a while but thos story gave it to me in late may
I am so thankful for this video. It has touched my morning and inspired me to share haippiness (again) in my own life.
Now he started to be very succesful. He focus on science, he do everything consistently, sincere and he is not in a rush.
Excellent story. Tear jerker. It is the little things that matter! Thank you for your leadership!
“U never know when someone needs u to be your best”
A smile takes breath of any living being ...
Instead of focusing on how to be successful, focus on how to be helpful.
So true, but not easy to deliver consistently.
First 😅❤️ love all ur videos I luv how u help motivate a lot of people thank you for motivating me ❤️
Always treat people with kindness and respect. Remember, we show compassion to others, not because of who they are, but because of who We are.
That...was...phenomenal.
I'LL never forget that cup of coffee, and I wasn't even there!!!!
Thank you Ryan. This story was incredible.
Wow. I don’t know what else to say. The speech, tonality, music, and video were all perfect
I have gotta say, I live in central MN, and dont fly very often, but when I do, it is through Minneapolis. And when it is time for the flight, I am gonna head to terminal D, and see if I can find Lily, because she sounds like an amazing person, and could use some serious appreciation.
Seriously... Sometimes when we smile in bad times.... Qe forget our misery for sometimes... Smile is a curve that sets everything correct
SO PoWERFUL... thanks for sharing
.
Its sucha happy talk, I listen to it again & again!
This is the BEST speech i have ever listened to
It was amazing story about people's sincere. It's extraordinary situation when just serving a coffee change your mind. When I heard though news that my grandfather has terminal diagnosis it was so pretty heavy in my heart. But my positive talks help him to be strong.
The way he conveyed the entire scenario was simply Awsome and of course special kudos to lily 😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
