There is much to be said about the simplicity of things. Such as words. I'm not talking about words you spout out during an argument, or when you see something or someone that triggers a one word response just due to how you feel about it. I'm talking about the simple word or words that we forget to use sometimes in our daily lives. The ones that are so simple yet can have such a huge impact. Words as simple as "Please" and "Thank you", and that's just an example. Think about any word or words that have been said to you, positive ones, that really impacted you. Now, knowing how good that made you feel, think how it would make someone else feel coming from you. They'll get to experience that good feeling you have. Sharing the wealth (experience), is nice.
However, don't do it only to pride yourself , for example "look what I did. I'm a good person". Do it out of sincerity. Because you did it from your heart.
Every kind deed done is a ripple in the sea life. Hence, you never know what kind of day a person is having or what they may be experiencing in their life. By one simple kind gesture/word you have the opportunity to change the out come of someone's whole day, and in some rare instances their life.
When I was working in different theaters here and there, the best piece of advice I received when working with my fellow colleges was, no matter what is going on the two best words to always use were, please and thank you. Little did I know how powerful that advise would be. These two words are just a small example of the kindness we can share with others in the form of verbal expression. It is important to remember that you should incorporate those and others into every situation. So throw the pebble let the ripples begin...
