Doesn’t it feel good when a stranger passing by smiles at you for no reason? Doesn’t it enlighten your heart when a stranger asks you how you are doing and wishes you to have a good day? These small deeds that we do in life matter a lot. It is in fact, these small deeds bring life into our souls.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a message from one of my old friends from school. We had not talked with each other for what seemed like an eternity. We talked what was going on in our lives. It really made me feel wonderful. We used to be best buddies at some time. Yes time flew and we chose different paths, and I won't lie, we completely forgot about each other for some time. And that short little "Hey! How's life going?" overwhelmed me.
Small things do matter.
It matters whether you get prompt replies from your friends on Facebook. It matters when you are waitressing and a customer is so humble and polite to you. It matters when a stranger holds that door for you. It matters when a small kid gives you a flying kiss.These little deeds that we witness every day in life carry a great significance.
The world is a whirlpool of optimism as well as negativity. It truly depends on how you want to perceive things. A positive attitude attracts positive thoughts and positive people in your life. So, let's learn to appreciate every single thing in our lives that we might have ignored considering it small.
A small gem is worth collecting rather than larger stones.
We have too little time to keep ourselves occupied with hatred and bitterness. The past is far gone and we don't know what the tomorrow holds. So, let's make our present count! You are breathing, you have food on your plate, you have a smartphone to read these words. Your life is far better than you think it is.
So, let's trade smiles for smiles.
Let's be grateful to God that he didn't forget to wake us up. Let's be thankful that we have important people in our lives who care for us. Let's embrace that we are moving forward in our lives. Let's not forget how we reached where we are now. Let's make every single day of our lives worthwhile!
