I have always wondered how successful, and famous people who impact thousands of lives get to where they are.
Mother Theresa, Obama, Martin Luther King, just to mention a few.
“How come they know so many people? “
“How come they are important to so many people”
Recently I’ve come to understand that these people really don’t have any secret.
The one common thing amongst them is their ability to think about others above themselves.
To offer an act of random kindness to everyone they meet
To show sincere appreciation and concern for people around them.
Check out this story…
There was a young man walking down a deserted beach just before dawn. In the distance he saw a frail old man.
As he approached the old man, he saw him picking up standed starfish and throwing them back into the sea.
The young man gazed in wonder as the ol man again threw the wmall starfish into the water.
He asked,
“Old man, why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time.”
The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun.
“But ther must be thousands of beaches and milions of starfish!” exclaimed he young man.
“How can you make any difference?”
The old man looked at the small starfish in his hand and as he threw it to the safte of the sea, he said,
“It makes a difference to this one!”
Mother Theresa once said – “Do small things with great love” (paraphrase)
Just one ACT OF RANDOM KINDNESS, makes a whole lot of difference
Love Ya All,
