We all want to make a difference while we are on this planet. I am sure of it. With all that is going on in the world today there is certainly no shortage in the opportunities to help others.
It actually can be very overwhelming to think we can make a difference when we are faced with such a huge task of let’s say solving world hunger.
However, I believe if we just do a little at a time, like feed the hungry in our own neighborhoods, that positive effort will translate to helping to solve world hunger.
There is something that is really nice about helping others and that is the kindness and compassion that we start to feel that then radiates and profoundly affects others in a very positive way.
It always amazes me how just a smile can affect another person in such a positive way. That sincere welcoming smile can create a ripple effect and literally change an entire organization for the good.
So when you are overwhelmed and feeling like you can not make a difference just smile at the next person you meet and just know that your smile will affect hundreds after that.
Peace.
I agree with this so much. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed thinking about how much there is to do in the world but I like the reminder about how just smiling at someone can make a profound difference. Thanks for all that you do! and Peace to you.
So true! It is easy to forget and get hung up in our own life. Making a significant difference can feel too difficult. However if we all do one small thing, like smile, together our collective efforts will make a huge impact. I’m smiling right now and will all day, thanks.
