The Power of Kindness in Everyday Life

Today, after a long day of job hunting, I was feeling pretty down. But something amazing happened on my way home that lifted my spirits. I bump intoed a friend and we had a chat that made me feel a bit better. As I walked home feeling a bit more hopeful, I saw a truly incredible sight.

There was a man riding a bike with special wheels and he didn't have legs. But instead of letting that stop him, he had a whole setup on his bike to sell lemons! He had big packs of them and was announcing it through a loudspeaker. I couldn't help but be amazed by his determination. Seeing him out there, making his own way despite his challenges, really struck a chord with me. Here I was, worried about finding a job, while this man was out here creating his own employment. It made me realize that maybe I had been looking at things the wrong way.

I felt inspired by his resilience, so I decided to support him by buying some lemons. I gave him a little extra because his spirit was truly uplifting. As I walked away, I couldn't help but think: if he can make his own opportunities, why can't I?

That realization stayed with me and when I got home, I finally took the plunge and started my own YouTube channel. It was a small step, but it felt like the beginning of something big. Who knows where it might lead, but one thing is for sure: I am not waiting around for someone else to give me a chance anymore.

Small Acts of Kindness Can Be Life-Changing

Not long ago, I was suffering from a high fever of 102 degrees for over a day, and the paracetamol tablets and tepid sponging weren't bringing it down. My friends at the hostel weren't available as they were all busy with their respective shifts. I wasn't in a condition to go out to the market and buy Meftal tablets, which are an alternative to paracetamol.

I ordered food through Swiggy, and the delivery partner came and did his job. I was about to tell him he could leave, when I asked him to get the Meftal tablet for me. It was a request I didn't expect him to agree to so easily, but he did without any hesitation. I felt relieved and incredibly grateful for his response.

After some time, he returned with my required medication. I was about to pay him, but he kept declining persistently. Even though I insisted, I did end up paying him back. The next day, I got my blood tests done and discovered that I had dengue, which made me very weak and severely affected my appetite and physical condition. But now, I can truly empathize with those who suffer from dengue as it just makes you feel so weak.

However, I have fully recovered now after undergoing the necessary treatment. I strongly urge everyone to take all preventive measures to avoid vector-borne diseases like dengue. They shouldn't be taken lightly.

That day, I just felt so grateful and had this sense of gratification. We didn't know each other at all; we were strangers, and yet he willingly helped me. This was pure kindness, and I will never forget it.

These small gestures of kindness just add on to the good karma and blessings that one receives from God. We should always be on the lookout for opportunities to be kind, as even the smallest act can make a big difference in someone's life. It is the little things that count the most, and they can bring about profound changes in our lives and those around us.
