Daily Inspiration
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007What is the ultimate goal? Perhaps it is aspiring to contribute something of value. Finding a way to help others - those we care about deeply - can inspire us for a lifetime. There is always a place in the world for those who are willing to give of their time, energy, capital, creativity and commitment.
What simple act of kindness could you show another person today? Decide now, take action, and be sure to appreciate how this makes you feel.
This person or people does not have to be someone you know, in fact showing kindness to a stranger is often one of the finest rewards you can get. It could be helping an elderly person with their shopping, giving up your seat for a lady or again an elderly person, buying lunch someone unfortunate enough to beg, dropping into a children’s home with a big bag of sweets and chocolate for the children to share, visiting a retirement home to just sit and talk with one of the residents who never gets visitors. These are just a few examples of ways we can improve others lives in a little way to us but a massive way for them.
People are often forgotten. Look at the many lonely people in the world and the people whose lives have been changed through circumstance, often we cannot change the whole world but we can change the world of one person at a time. A quick story for you now on that note and then I’ll finish……..
There is a famous beach where every year hundreds and thousands of crabs wash up onto the beach and slowly die. One day someone noticed a lady throwing crabs back into the ocean one at a time, that someone asked this lady what on earth she was doing because it was hardly making any difference because there was so many crabs and wasn’t this pointless!
The lady stopped what she was doing and reflected quietly, then she picked up another crab and threw it back into the sea. She then turned and simply replied ” made a difference to that one”.
We can make a difference to the world but we can only do it one person at a time.
