Itās a curious thing, but if you lead by example, people will always follow you, provided the example you set is honest, true, and has moral value.
We have all had times when weāve reached out to complete strangers to offer help or assistance, havenāt we?
Consider:
How many times have you held a heavy dooršŖopen for someone to walk through safely?
How many times have you helped someone in the grocery šŖ store with something that was beyond their reach?
How many times have you made a phone āļø call for someone or allowed them to use your phoneš± in an emergency?šØ
Most likely, more times than you can easily remember!
What about this:
Have you ever helped anyone start their car šor given someone a ride?
How about helping a young Mom struggling with a young babyš¶ and her stroller?
Or helped the old man šØāš¦Æ with a cane get down a flight of stairs?
Have you ever picked up some trashšļø that was blowing in the wind and put it in a dumpster?
Surely you have. Most people have. Itās just something you do. There is never a reason. Nor do you ever expect any reward for those random acts of kindness. Itās how you were raised. Itās the right thing to do isnāt it? š
The worldšŗļøis changing and changing rapidly. Mostly for the better, but there are also many changes that are neither good nor welcome.
Too many people will never understand that it really is love that makes the worldš go around.
What If?
The random acts of kindness that so many people engage in on a daily basis are often opportunities spotted and fulfilled without any conscious thought at all. Itās just what we do.
But what if we applied conscious thought and actively looked for opportunities to help complete strangers?
Would it make a difference in the life of that stranger that you helped? Of course, it would. Someone stepping up to help in their hour of need would be almost heaven-sent.
But what about YOU?
How would you feel? š¤
How would you feel about being in the right place, at the right time, to help someone when nobody else could or would? Wouldnāt you get a kick out of that? Of course, you would!
This immeasurable, unquantifiable, feel-good factor has such a buzzš to it that it would light š” you up for the rest of the day!
Do you think the recipient of your random act of kindness might tell someone about what happened to them today? Would they speak well of you and express their gratitude to the unknown stranger who was there just at the right time today? Of course!
Is it possible that they might be so inspired by your actions on their behalf that they would tell several people?
What if those people were also inspired by your example, and they, too, consciously started finding people each day that they could help?
Ripples on a Pond
Just like ripples on a pond, your single, random act of kindness could have a very far reaching, positive effect on the lives of many, many people.
Strangers that youāve never met and likely will never, ever meet could have a smile š on their face today, just because of you!
So how about it? Could you help a complete stranger today with a Random Act of Kindness? How would that make you feel? What if you did it every day?
What if you led by example and were able to positively change the lives of many, many people simply by doing the right thing for no other reason than the fact that you can?
The only way you can change your own world is by making decisions and taking action. By consciously employing Random Acts of Kindness, you can change the lives of anyone you meet, at any time, or anywhere.
The Challenge: Change the World
So, hereās a challenge for you:
Commit to one Random Act of Kindness each day for one week. Thatās seven days, seven opportunities to make someone smile, and seven opportunities to make yourself feel good by helping a complete stranger in their moment of need.
If you like it, keep it going! Lead by example, knowing that the ripples that youāre sending out on the pond of life will inspire others to follow your example, and one person at a time, one Random Act of Kindness at a time, collectively, we WILL change the world.š
