Monday Morning Coffee – One Small Favor . . . Please?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pareto Realty TN #251071

Good Morning!

Have you ever considered the “Ripple Effect” of one small favor?

Just an ounce of generosity can create a TON of good will.

This phenomenon defies all of the Laws of Physics.

How can one small gesture launch a chain of events that influence the lives of so many others?

This video offers a nice, feel-good representation.

I see it every day:

  • While driving – Go ahead and shift over a lane to let someone in
  • While working – Take a minute to help out a colleague with a challenge
  • At home – Pause what you’re doing to help your child with homework
  • Random acts – Go out of your way to help someone/ANYone

None of this has anything to do with the size or material value of the favor.

This is ALL about generosity – and generosity is contagious.

When you practice generosity, others notice and . . . it changes them if only for a moment . . . and they pay it forward.

The magic of this is that NO-ONE HAS to do this, yet we all do it without any expectation of personal reward other than the apparent truth that the more you share . . . the more you have.

So as you journey through this week, upon how many opportunities to be generous will you choose to take action?

How’s it feel?

Hoping you have a fabulous week of abundance.

Best,

b

Barry, it's great when you see it happens and definitely affects your day. You do a favor for someone and that person, seeing you helping them out, not makes them feel good, but they help out others just because they can, just like you did.

Barry, so true, if we all did just a few of these items each day, I think it would help make all of our days better.

Thanks for reminding me again about random acts of kindness.  At least I will try to live up to it this week.

A kindness shown to others not only benefits the receiver, the feeling of adding value makes the giver feel better about themselves, whether or not they see the results returned to them personally.

Barry, you are so right, generosity is contagious. Helping others without any expection of receiving anything in return is what it's all about.
