You probably know this kind of situation: It's rainy outside, the last night was much too short and too lonely, the coffee was spilled all over the fresh shirt and after all you're missing the bus. While you're trying to find an excuse for your delay it happens - out of nowhere this beautiful person is smiling at you! You're turning around to see, who this person is smiling at, but there is no one else but you. In the moment you turn back the mysterious person disappeared. What stays is a good feeling, which has changed your mood within a few seconds. Now you're smiling yourself. But what about the boss? Well you remember, how he was paying your wages two weeks in advance to help you out with some financial problems (Perhaps you bought more crypto than you could afford to loose) and decide to bring him some coffee - Not to blackmail him, but because you feel like it. He might be confused, but it won't take long and he will understand it was an act of kindness...
Everything around us has an impact on us. It's on us to decide which one we allow to get in and which ones we keep out. And it's also on us to consciously decide on how we influence the people surrounding us. We all did acts of kindness to strangers without even expecting anything in reward. What we usually don't see is how we changed this stranger. And with this new power he will change the next and so on... it's like a chain.
But if we do 2 acts of kindness and the people, who were influenced by us, do also and so on and so on - I think you got my point.... We will reach the whole world, which currently counts about 7.5 billion human beeing, in just 33 steps!
Of course this chart doesn't work in real life, but even if it scales just for a few percentages, it shows the impact little things have - and I'm very sure about this!
You want to change the world? So be good to yourself and do at least two good things a day - even when it's just a smile or a warm hug!
Cheers!
