Make Kindness A Contagious Act


Mrs. Anderson was driving at  top speed in the wee hours of the night. She had been told her husband had suffered a mild stroke but was in a stable condition now in a hospital in the centre of town.
Suddenly, one of her tyres burst out and she stopped to check for herself but she couldn't find anyone to help her do that. So she stood there by her car waiting for a good samaritan to show up and help her out.
That's when Joey Monti showed up. He asked if Miss Anderson needed help with her car and she said yes. He helped fixed another tyre into the old lady's car. 
Thank you very much young man, I'm Sylvia Anderson. Here's a little token for you for your kindness towards me young man.
Joey rejected the puffy envelope from Mrs. Anderson after she had told him where she was going and why.

Spread the kindness on another person in my name. Make it contagious. That's all Joey said.
She drove a few metres to a restaurant nearby which was still open and sat down. A young woman named Stacy came up to her with a beaming smile and asked what can we offer you ma'am?? A cup of coffee. That's all. She said. Stacy came back and to her suprise, the old woman had already left.
But she had left the big puffy envelope on the table with a little note attached that read; a kind young man wants me to give this to you.
Tracy tore the envelope open and found a 1,000 dollars inside. She squeezed her hand in a morsel with tears of joy and said lord, thank you thank you. She had been praying for a miracle to help her pay off a student loan.
She went home and kissed her boyfriend who was sleeping on the forehead. She whispered softly to him; don't you worry, Joey,  baby, somebody just paid off my loan. You don't have to work so hard to find money anymore.

Here is what this little story means; Joey rejected Mrs. Sylvia Anderson's offer even though he knew he needed money to pay off his girlfriend's (Stacy) student's loan. The kindness however returned back to Joey through her girlfriend Stacy at the restaurant.

Do you feel tired already because you have been doing good but yet with no reward??
Do not despair nor give up. Keep doing good and being Kind. Spread it around to everyone and make it contagious to reach everyone in this difficult times, as nations and individuals are dealing with the scare of the virus in their homes.

You might be surprised with the results.

Let the spirit of kindness move you today!

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...
