Little Acts of Kindness Matter

I watched a video of a speech by a volunteer firefighter, who told of a couple key lessons he learned from going into a burning building.



One thing he learned was that you should never wait to make a difference in someone's life. There is no need to wait to give until you can "afford" to... if you are waiting for the perfect time, it will never come. Give what you can, it will be enough.

The other important message is that little acts of kindness really do matter. We may think that when we do something little to help another person that it is not actually helping, but that couldn't be further from the case. A little act of kindness can go a long way.

As the saying goes and as we know is true, kindness is contagious. When you perform a kind act or send a smile someone's way, they are more likely to do the same for someone else. They will be put in a better mood, and they will put others in a better mood because of it.

The time is always right to help out another person, whether it is with a big act or a small act.
