The Power of The Good, Small Things

ByMatthew

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. – Leo Buscaglia

When doubt:

offer a smile;

say that kind thing that occurs to you;

hold the door and wait for that person to pass through;

ask if someone is okay if you’re not sure they are;

just sit with someone and be peace and love;

hold someone’s hand, smile and look in their eyes.

You never know when that is exactly what they need, and all they need.
