You never really know the true impact you have on those around you.

You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone else needed that smile you gave them. You never how much your kindness turned someone’s entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk. So don’t wait to be kind. Don’t wait for someone else to be kind first. Don’t wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind, because you never know how much someone needs it.

How often do you go out of your way to be kind, just because?

Kindness is a currency that we have an infinite supply of, to spend over the course of a lifetime.

In this, we extend of ourselves something that we personally might have a giant reservoir of, waiting to bestow upon others… whereas others may be so bereft of resources that even though they may have a wealth of kindness within them, their overall mindset makes it incredibly difficult for them to draw upon.

When we recognize how important our ability to be kind truly is, we awaken to an opportunity to take a deeper role in the human race and participate fully in the experience, regardless of individual benefit or gain… rather out of a general sense, and appreciation of how, and why our particular place in that hierarchy can have such value and benefit to those around us.

When you learn to think altruistically and expend of yourself, for no other reason, than perhaps, it is just the correct thing to do, you discover how and why your individual impact on others can be so poignant, and perhaps most aptly timed.

We are creatures who are continually seeking comfort and respite from the harshness that is potentially surrounding us, and in our quest for a happy and fulfilled life, we cannot help but work to seek out those resources that populate our internal reservoir with warmth and genuine good feelings.

When you are conscious of the fact that you have this power, go the extra mile and smile at strangers. Say hello as you pass by and do it from a place of warmth in your heart and watch the reaction that you generate in your choice to have done so.

This little tiny exercise can galvanize your inner desire to further explore, where, and why you might be capable of adding to this internal wealth that you are acquiring, solely by giving of yourself so that others might feel the joy that you are capable of bestowing upon them.

All that you can take with you is that which you have given away.

Happy Tuesday!
