At our most stressful, panicky or fearful moment, a word of concern or encouragement can sometimes work wonder. The lady who was 6 months pregnant and trapped in her car during an accident, felt numbless in certain parts of her body and pain in her tummy. She was also afraid that her car would explode. A 12 year old boy came along and asked if she was okay. A simple gesture like that gave her much needed courage and reassurance to face her ordeal.
Behind the facade of the happy pictures shared on social media, all of us have our own issues and challenges to deal with. Your word of concern and encouragement may just be the greatest thing you can do for a friend or family member.
Ever wonder what do people/ human beings need most? Is it food, water or air? I think the answer is love. No doubt we need food, water and air to survive but in a world without love, human beings will destroy one another, and eventually we will become extinct. It is like having power but lacking the knowledge to use it. Love will guide us and help us cultivate good thoughts, while kindness is all about putting these useful thoughts into actions.
All of us want to see the world change for the better, we hope to see big changes happening, like eliminating racism, terrorism, prejudices. We hope the world can be peaceful with no wars and people killing one another. We sometimes forget that it all starts with the small and simple actions of giving kindness, showing more concerns to people around us and encouraging one another along. When people feel loved, they are less likely to go down the wrong paths.
As you read this, is there someone on your mind whom you have not contact for awhile? Maybe it is a good time to drop a message to ask how he/ she is doing? It is okay to be the one who take the initiative, because those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. Spread some love around, my dear friends <3
