The Power in Small Positive Actions
Don’t underestimate the impact of a small deed. Everyone can think of a turning point in their lives when another person did something that seemed like a small thing – helped you fill out a form, offered encouragement, invited you to a meeting or opportunity, extended some kindness – that made a big difference.
This week, honor the power of everyday positive actions. Look for small concrete physical things that can contribute to others. Smile at a stranger, give someone a ride, empty the dishwasher, don’t interrupt or need to win an argument, let go of irritation. There is an endless supply to choose from.
In the words of Nkosi Johnson, a South Africa boy born with HIV who became an advocate for children with AIDS before he died in 2001 at age 12, “Do all that you can, with what you have, in the time that you have, in the place that you are.”
To be alive and able to be helpful is a privilege. Enjoy, be curious, have fun making a positive difference!
