I saw this post on Facebook with this simple statement and it let me thinking: What is a random act of kindness?
I can think of a couple of examples taken out of a wishful thinking box, buy my impression of what this post with Morgan Freeman in it meant was related to a single, random, you and me kind of people act of kindness.
On my way to the metro station this morning I found that good example in a humble woman that offers me the newspaper everyday, with the most natural and wonderful morning smile I’ve ever seen.
I’ve been
seeing her for weeks. I have seen how that nice and welcoming “Bonjour”
when she offers each of us the newspaper with that wonderful smile, the kind of
smile that get through her eyes and with the power to create a chain reaction
on everyone coming to or from the Metro.
Even when not everyone want the
newspaper no one can’t help but reply “merci” back with an
spontaneous smile as well. It’s contagious! When you can see how people change
their faces from the stress of the rush hour to a smile with no reason in as
much as a second. That switch of attitude might change your day.
One
single act of kindness can actually change the world; it truly does to some of us
that pass her by everyday on our way to work or school. After a nice bath of positive attitude, a nice cup of coffee will
do the trick to allow us through a busy morning at work.
Enjoy your day and don’t forget that the power of one multiply by
thousands can be transformed into millions of small miracles every day, let’s
start with today!
See you tomorrow and remember to be kind,
