Buying and selling things can be discouraging at times. The other night I stayed up for a late-night stream because my regular hours just wasn’t producing anything. So, I started at 3am, instead of my regular 7:30pm, and hoped for the best. About 30 minutes in, and I’m feeling really discouraged. It’s just me in my stream. No one else. And I feel like giving up. Then out of nowhere someone enters my stream and we start having a chill conversation. I let him know I’m trying to save up for a car and the response? He tips me a $1.
One single dollar turned my entire night around. I didn’t have a game he was interested in, so he tipped me what he could. A single dollar. I’ve never been so rejuvenated by something so small before. Why? Because it wasn’t about the amount of money, but the action itself.
You never know what a little kindness will do for someone. How discouraged or hopeless someone feels. Just the smallest spark can change their entire day. Their entire outlook on their current goal. Kindness won’t cost you much, but it will cause others to hope much.
Today, as you go through your day, look for someone you can share a little kindness with. Someone you can give hope to. It doesn’t even have to be giving them money. Just encouraging someone, sharing a smile, a hug, a meal, something they need, is enough to spark hope in their heart to keep going. Hope that things will get better and they can do it.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Spread Hope.
