Small Acts, Big Difference

I often think about my contributions to the world, even if my world is within a certain geographical or demographical scope. We typically think about what act of kindness we can do for others that will display our compassion and empathy. Innately, our human nature is one that tries to respond to a need when we see someone in need.

Kindness is one asset that is free to give. It costs nothing to be kind even in our crazy messed up world where intolerance seems to reign supreme. Let’s face it, we all have issues, whether we want to admit it or not. We tend to be superficial at times and try to put on a facade indicating that everything is hunky dory, when it is not. 

But let’s keep it real here. I believe that every little bit that is positive and constructive helps. I believe that as Bill Withers sang in his song “Lean on Me” that message in his lyrics reverberates more now than ever. I find that if there is something I can do, no matter how small or how insignificant I might think it may be, it probably can be useful to someone else. I ask myself, as I pray each morning, what can I do this day, this moment, to encourage, to assist, or to simply listen. I focus on myself to make sure I am being a better me, a healthier me, so that I can be grounded and strong enough to be a viable contributor to my family and my community, without being depleted of energy or ability.

Yes, we follow our dreams, although we may not achieve the leaps and bounds, or that great utopia as we hope. Yet in that regard, let’s not forget nor overlook or cast aside the great progress we made or the monumental achievements we will make. ❤🤗❤ Small acts, can make a big difference. Just make sure your small acts are good ones. Have a fan-tabulously productive and awe-inspiring day y’all! 🌞
