Do you ever just melt in a moment when you witness kindness? And it makes you realize how wholesome small things can be?
I felt this today, as the mail man came to our door and my dad asked, “Would you like a bottle of water?” to which he replied, “I’d love one actually.”
That short question provided service to someone who was working hard on a hot summer day.
Often times we don’t realize how a small gesture can impact someone’s day.
One thing that I often shy away from is giving compliments to strangers when in public.
There are so many small acts of kindness that many of us avoid sharing because it’s “too small anyway” and “won’t matter.” But this isn’t really the case. Something miniscule could turn around someone’s bad day.
The goal is to not just “not be rude,” but to make an effort to be nicer.
It’s easy to overlook the power of a compliment or a kind word, especially to strangers. Many hesitate to offer them, thinking they might be perceived as insincere or awkward. But even if a compliment or a small act of kindness feels insignificant to you, it can be a bright moment in another person’s day.
The essence of kindness is in the thoughtfulness behind it, not always in its scale. By being intentional about our interactions and spreading positivity, we contribute to a more compassionate society. The goal, as mentioned, is not just to avoid being rude, but to actively create a brighter and more positive environment.
Let’s not forget that we are our own path to a better future. Help your neighbor when you can, as this often influences them to pass the kindness forward.
As always, this is your reminder to spread some love. 🤗🥰
