Re: To be a kid again...(three posts down)/ Part Three..

Read the previous three posts or so, starting with the one titled "To be a kid again..." before you read this...



Re reading this post, I think I finally put a finger on what the point to it was.

This little boy went out of his way to give me a piece of garbage really. But in his eyes it was a masterpiece. Thus, it was in my mind too.

Point is, if none of us really grew up at heart and still drew pictures for other people and went out of our way to make another person smile but just once a day, what kind of world would that create? (Quite the run-on huh Britt?)

Throw out all of the fears in everyday life that the media has created.
If you sit down and think about the effect that one smile can do, its almost mind boggling.

If one boy went out of his way to draw pictures on a place mat for a complete stranger, just to give him something to show that they have the same name, think about the possibilities that grown adults would be able to conceive.

Paying for someones dry cleaning, or stopping to say Hi to one person you see everyday but never talk to.

This past Christmas, one man, ONE, bought the coffee of the person behind him at a starbucks and set off a chain reaction of the next 350 people doing the same gesture. ONE person, created a dinner time story that brightened the day of not only the direct 350 people, but everyone person connected to one of the 350 who got a free cup of coffee.

The real point is, that if one person sets off the reaction, ultimately millions of people will unknowingly produce and spread smiles to those around them.

If someone went out of their way to make you smile, it will be with you the rest of the day. And since it's always with you, you may very well be smiling the rest of the day because of it. If you are smiling you are automatically giving the people around you, not only a reason but, the permission to do the same. So, unknowingly, you have liberated the souls of others who will unknowingly spread the same seed to others. It's an unstoppable, uncontrollable, unexplainable phenomenon


Make someone smile today..
