Have you ever thought about how easy it is to be kind to someone else? How easy it is to just go a little bit out of your way to add a little bit of joy to another persons day?
Then why is it so oftentimes, that we go about our day just thinking of ourselves and being caught up in all the things that we may be dealing with and fail to try to make an impact in the lives of others?
I’m not saying that it’s not normal and necessary to deal with the things going on in our own lives but if we all would take just a little time out of our daily routine to put others first could you imagine the ripple effect that would have in the world?
In today’s world that is so consumed with technology and social media, we often hear the phrase thrown around that we are more connected than ever.
But why is it then that people are feeling more isolated, lonely and depressed than at any other time?
It’s because God knows just how much each person on this planet longs for fellowship and a relationship with other people, but unfortunately we are failing to do so on a consistent basis.
Attempting to brighten someones day doesn’t have to necessarily be anything big. It can be asking how someone’s day is and then actually listening to them when they answer.
It’s trying to do something to make someone laugh when you see them or pointing out something positive instead of the same old same old greeting you might exchange every single time you see them.
It’s sending a text to a friend and letting them know that you love them or are thankful for them and hoping that they have a great day and congratulating them on something they did or a member of their family accomplished.
The world needs more encouragers!!!!! I have learned in my life that a little encouragement goes a long way!!!
We need People who strive to lift the Spirits of others and try to make the day better for the people around them.
It’s lifting up others and spreading joy even when you don’t feel like it. It’s being nice when your day up to that point has been anything but sunny and pleasant itself.
You might ask, “If I’m always trying to make other peoples day better and lift their spirits, then who is lifting mine?”
That is the ticket my friend!!!!
You will find that by lifting up others and trying to make their day better that you in turn your own day will become brighter and you will be effected in a more positive way than you could have never imagined.
And once you spread that kindness and joy to others I promise you that you will want to do it more and more because you will see the change it is not only making in the lives of others but in your life as well!!!
It has a domino effect!!!
It sounds so simple but yet it is a lost art with most people nowadays!!!!
With the world being how it is today and all that we have gone through with Covid-19 and social distancing over the last year don’t you think this is as good a time as any to go out of our way to spread joy and kindness.
The Lord knows that we need it more now than ever before!!!
Start today and do your best to make someone else’s day a little bit better. You will be surprised how much of an impact it makes in the world around you.
I am a firm believer in doing for others .
