Sweet ,
When you think about making a BIG difference in people's lives, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? I know for a lot of people this experience is associated with a large charity, a thriving startup or an incredibly successful practice of some sort.
For other people, making a significant difference is tied to a large dollar amount or a certain level of social or political influence. When it really comes down to making a difference in people, often times the simplest most overlooked acts of kindness have the ability to create the most radical changes in others.
In addition to that, a small yet thoughtful moment can remind you in one alive instant of who you really are and even more importantly, why you're really here.
A smile, a hug, a heartfelt word of praise. A look, a touch, a moment of presence. A generous ear that listens without judgement, a selfless action that spontaneously stems from your everyday living.
When we come back to the basics of being human and remember that the bigest thrill in life does not come from what we get but from what we give, that same day, the drama of being alive takes a backseat and lets the experience of being alive take the wheel.
