The smallest good deed is greater than the grandest intention.
— John Burroughs
If you can touch the life of just one person, it’s worth it. Grab the opportunity.
This one connection measured against the vastness of the world may seem insignificant to the ambitious, yet to the person whose life you have touched, the significance can be profound. Besides through this one person you’ve probably had a far greater impact on way more people than you realize.
Think about it. When one person influences another, what happens?
A ripple effect. Over time this one person can actually impact generations to follow.
In case you’re wondering where to start. Try this.
Think about all the people who have impacted your life. Teachers, employees, coworkers, managers, customers, family or friends. Make a list. If too many come to mind, start with five at a time. Let them know how they played a small or big part in influencing your life. Just sharing your experiences and insights may positively impact their current circumstances. Who knows? It may be just what they need to hear at this point of time in their life. Trust me, it’s far more generous than any material gift of gratitude you can ever give.
Sooner or later you will have the same act of generosity reciprocated. Life always comes full circle. Kindness boomerangs. Like an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. Pay it forward.
All it takes is one gesture. One person. One moment at a time.
