Over time, I have come to understand that some gifts are meant to be passed on, not repaid. All of us know somebody who would benefit from a kind word. I’m encouraging you to act on it. For the biggest impact, do it in writing. And do it for somebody who knows you have nothing to gain.
It’s important to give encouragement to family and friends, but their happiness and yours are inseparable. For the maximum velocity, I’m suggesting that you give your encouragement to someone who can’t return the favor – it’s a distinction that won’t be lost on the recipient.
And remember, there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
– Scott Adams

ReplyDeleteSo true! I hope and pray more people will practice kindness as this world is in such need.
ReplyDeleteI liked this Sue:
ReplyDelete"there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness"
Reminded me of this from Mother Teresa:
"We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love."
