#Repost @leveledgecreative • • • • • • Carried this quote around on a scrap of paper in my wallet for years, after having had it cited to me by a kind stranger. The scrap piece of paper has been lost, but I will remember the quote forever. #seeeachotherthrough #bekindtoothers #kindnessfromstrangers Don't know which I loved more, this quote or the story behind it, but it is absolutely my philosophy. We all wish to be strong independent people, but this always happens within the hallway between how bad it could go, in a fragile tension on a planet in a near endless lethal sea of deep space. We need each other. It is our strength. 🌎 #oneworld #yyj #fridaythoughts #tgif #fridayfeels #vancouverisland #love #friendship #family #community #future #forwardfriday #forwardthinking #quotes #inspiration #thoughts #downtownvictoria #canada #america #europe #people #man #together #instapositive (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SLduoFlr1/?igshid=1hp9d46l7k0jp

The Kindness of Strangers

Kindness is not a lost cause. My book “Saying Thanks and Beyond, Is Saying Thank You Enough?” speaks to the acts of kindness people offer you and what you say or do comes back in the same way it is sent out. Sometimes, in our hurried lives, one beset with concerns about making a living and accomplishing goals we set for ourselves, we see the bad and ugly more than we see the good and beautiful. However, circumstances have a way of putting us right where we should be just so we realize how truly blessed we are. There are those who are knocked down on their feet and find themselves struggling to get up only to find the kindness of strangers extended to them in many different forms of help. There are those who lose their health only to gain compassion and friendship from the most unlikely people. There are those who get lost in life only to find the guiding hand of a new face. There are those who are without much material possession but have a treasure trove of family and friends for support. Indeed, the world works in amazing, mysterious ways, just like God does. God never leaves us alone to bear our burdens. Sometimes he uses strangers to show us the way or to remind us that we will always be cared for. Imagine people who leave their home country in search for a better life somewhere else. These people often start with the most minimal resources—a few clothes, a small room or apartment, a little pocket money. Yet somehow they always find people who are willing to welcome them or willing to give them a chance at making a living. Somehow, they always find people to group with, people to call family in a new place. Sometimes too we meet people who inspire us to be better versions of ourselves. These are the people who cannot help but be positive lights in the world. They help others sometimes without even knowing it. Once we are the recipient of the kindness and goodness of others, the best way to pay it back is to pay it forward. Somewhere out there someone just like you is in dire need of something. Someone out there needs kindness extended to them. Paying kindness forward keeps the chain going, and if we all contribute in our own ways, the world will be full of kindness before long.

Waiting in line to get a drink from the bartender at the wedding I went to and was talking with the lady in front of me in line, I had already had a few drinks so I don't remember what I said that made her say this but its stuck with me and warms my heart. She said, "you are so kind, I wish I knew you" very genuinely. I wish I remembered our little convo though.

Another amazing day Volunteering with the Cancer Council for Daffodil Day. Great support today for friends and total strangers. A cause that is very close to home for me and today I wore my pin in memory of my mum. #daffodil day #cancercouncil #teambne #kindnessfromstrangers
