Every one of us has the power to make a difference and you can start right here, right now to contribute something positive and make a change. All it takes is to make people smile. [...]

Lovely words, Patrick. I, too, live by a mantra of mindfulness… Being mindful of my place on this planet and the difference I can make by simply sharing my light with those around me, even in the smallest gestures. Wonderful blog – keep going!

Nice post Patrick. Helping definitely goes a long way towards making a difference in others’ lives. When I was traveling in another country, I marveled at how helpful some of the subway attendants were, and it gave me a good feeling.

I don’t think most people realize how much a kind or friendly gesture can mean. My earliest childhood memory is of a man lifting me up so I could drink from a water fountain in the park. Fifty years ago, and i still remember it.

This little simple piece of advice certainly will go a long way; it doesn’t cost us much but the effect could be lasting. Indeed, all we need to do is to make people smile and in the process, somehow we will be affected and will be smiling too. Thus it benefits both the giver and the receiver and yet it costs nothing. I like the idea of doing a little kindness for other and not expecting anything in return. Your story at the airport will go on to inspire others to share a little kindness.
