“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” That’s so true. Often, it is the small acts of kindness which create the biggest and most positive changes. RHR # 16
These small deeds, delivered with love and compassion, can make an amazing difference. You may think what you’re doing is so insignificant but it’s likely to make a huge difference to someone or something in the great order of things. There are many stories that remind me that small acts of kindness are powerful.
Like the boy who was on the beach spending his time and energy collecting beached starfish to throw back into the sea. Someone came along and was bemused at the boy’s folly, shouting, ‘What’s the point of throwing them back? You’re not making a difference.’ The boy released another starfish in the sea and replied: ‘Well, I made a difference to that one.’
And it’s true. Even if you make a difference to one life today, then it’s worth doing. Make someone laugh, show simple courtesy, give your seat on the train to someone more needy, give a little of your time and energy to a worthy cause, and you WILL make a difference. And when you offer a kind deed, notice how warm you feel inside.
You will positively radiate. Apart from love, nothing else can give you that inner glow and the more kindness you give, the greater that feeling.

So wise! I send (and sell, at cost, prestamped, on my website) “Random Cards of Kindness” to people in the phone book. I just shut my eyes, open to a page, and point, and that’s who Destiny decides will get a card. I am self-employed and work at home, and I don’t have a car, so the Internet and the mail are the handiest ways to spread a little sunshine. Not the ONLY ways, though. I’m not QUITE a hermit. I wonder if there are still anchorites, who spend all their time in seclusion praying for the world and meditating. THANKS for this blog.
It makes me feel like a cloud of darkness clears my heart… my thoughts… knowing that people actually try to do kind things in this world… i am awakened… inspired to do kind things, thank you all.
I was thrilled to find this by accident – I love the philosophy of your words – I hope it is okay that I posted them on my website (the contract page) and put a link for people to find your book here…
I think maybe we could colaborate on some wonderful things – and I would be very grateful for permission to print out your excerpt from above – If you do grant me that permission I would need to know your full name so I can properly give you credit for writing it…. I can’t seem to find it here anywhere and the book cover is to small for me to see it…
You are making a difference! Thank you!
Your finding of this link is not accidental The kind of philosophy I believe in says that it is due to relationship karma. The supreme mystic law of Cause & Effect is always in action irrespective of the fact we believe it or not.
Thanks for liking my writing work. You can download my ebook
I would love to promote the teachings an rudimentary humanitarian law on your site as well, please go ahead. Phantom is my pen name which suits this niche as human comprehension from its perspective of the context dilutes the matter.
I suppose you are correct – everything does happen for a reason!
I greatly appreciate your adding me here and hope that we have all done our part to make this world a better and more kind place!
God Bless you!
