Today people care about success and being healthy. They care about wealth and being loved and being happy. But people only think of that for themselves. Mark Bezos the VOULNTEER firefighter only got the opportunity to go and retrieve this woman a pair of shoes while the other firefighters got to save the dog and put out the fire. At the time he didn’t think that what he was doing would ever impact this woman’s life. He realized that his small act of kindness really did make an impact on this woman when the fire department received a letter from the woman thanking them for saving her house and even daring to have the kindness to get her a pair of shoes. Bezos’ lesson to the world was not to wait to make an impact on someone’s life because in the end you will regret it, and even when you don’t think that what you are doing is making a difference in someone’s life, it actually his. Bezos said “Not every day is going to offer us the chance to save someone’s life but, every day offers us the opportunity so affect one” and this is so true. So what have you done today that might have made a positive impact on someone? Make it a goal every day to do one kind thing for someone even if you think that no one is looking because someone always is. Every small act of kindness you do will make a difference not only in someone else’s life but also in yours.
