Friday, January 25, 2002 Share Little Random Acts of Kindness Little acts of kindness can make a HUGE impact on others... Don't believe me? Here's a personal example that I hope will illustrate my point. The other day I was in my local Hardees (fast food restaurant that is). I'm ordering my food when the woman who's taking my order say's out loud "What's she doing? She knows she's not supposed to be picking that stuff up". Then called to someone in the back to go help her. Before the person had time to come from the back, I had already walked outside and took the package from her and set it on the counter. Everyone that worked there was thanking me. To be honest, I really didn't see what the big deal was. Then the woman who'd been taking my order went on to tell me that the lady I'd helped had heart trouble, and just the day before the Dr. had instructed her *NOT* to do any heavy lifting. See what I am getting at here? In my attempt to help, I didn't think it was any big deal at all. However, to the person who received this "random act of kindness", it was a all together different story! Think back to times in your life where little things, no matter how minute they may have appeared to you resulted in a much larger turn out... That's exactly the kind of thing I am talking about here. Oh, another nice by product of sharing "random acts of kindness" is that more often then not you're rewarded in some way. You may not expect to be (and you certainly don't do them for this reason), but it just seems to work out that way. Perhaps not rewarded directly, but it always makes its way back to you just the same... In my case it came back to me in the form of Large Coke & large fries. The bottom line is - Kindness pays dividends...

They are often so afraid of testing new waters that they spend an entire lifetime waiting on the shore... My friend, don't let this describe you. If it does, take heart, because at this very moment you can make a conscious decision to start getting the most out of your life's journey! But you must take action, and truly commit to living more fully. Really put action behind your new plan. Make it more then just words. Make it real...

Friend, your smile is the first opportunity you have to make a difference in the lives of those around you. I hope you'll choose as I do to make a conscious effort not to let this wonderful opportunity pass you by. Sure at times people might look at you a bit funny. However, you'll be amazed at the overall effect that sharing your smile will bring. Best of all you'll be making a positive impact on another person, who in turn is likely do the same to the next person they come into contact with. There's no way of knowing just how *BIG* an impact your simple gesture will make. Now that's exciting stuff, but it all starts with your decision to share that smile...

Far to often what happens is that we aren't conscious of the fact that new possibilities are continuously introduced to us. I've found that by making a quick note, or recording a passing idea or thought that I am able to review these ideas at a later point (particularly that right). In doing this I can sort through these ideas and implement the ones that fit into my daily action plan... Your friend in cyberspace, Josh Hinds posted by Josh Hinds | Permalink |
