Thoughtfulness


The things you do for others contribute something valuable to their lives. If you can remind yourself that it is the everyday acts of kindness that really matter, you could find it easier to give even more of yourself today. As you go about your day, try to think of little ways that you can help other people; holding open doors, smiling, letting someone go ahead of you in line, etc. These small actions may not seem like much taken individually, but combined, they can truly affect the lives of those around you. The energy you put out has a ripple effect on others and even though you may not be aware of the conflicting thoughts that someone else has going through his/her mind, your small act of kindness at a crucial moment, will encourage that person to restore faith in humankind and allow positive energy to again enter his/her reality. 


The everyday thoughtfulness that we show other people has a great influence on the world around us. We may think that really contributing to the world means that we do something grandiose, but it is often in the smaller things we do that we can truly change the lives of others, for it is how we live our lives over the long term that truly has bearing on what we are able to add to this world. Seeing your actions in this light will make you much more likely to give of yourself in such a way as to really foster a giving and helpful spirit toward others.
