Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today
Be the reason someone smiles today. I know that the whole “random act of kindness” thing isn’t exactly new and that no one really needs me telling them to spread cheer, but I wanted to tell you a super quick little story anyway….
Yesterday, a person who I adore and respect immeasurably left me a voice message thanking me for something that I did….that, really wasn’t a very big deal at all. In his message he told me how special it was and called me a, “Bloody Star.” I mean, come on. It totally made me smile and, quite honestly, made my day.
So, be someone’s little boost today. Be the reason someone smiles unexpectedly today. Shoot a super nice text, send an email letting someone know that you appreciate them, leave a super nice voice mail….or, better even still, tell someone in person how great they are. Make someone’s day.
If, by chance, someone does something nice for you or makes you smile by surprise, feel free to tell us about it here. Good stuff.
