The laws of physics state that a body at rest will stay at rest unless exerted on by an external force. When we do something kind for someone, a totally selfless act where we stand to gain nothing but the pleasure of knowing we helped, we exert a force on someone's internal kindness.
We all have the internal capacity to give of ourselves to others. Sharing our time, talents and resources with others in need is a powerful force. And face it, we are all in need at one time or another. Your act might be a kind word to someone who is having a difficult day, supporting a friend when things aren't going right or volunteering your time for a worthy cause. Sometimes it takes that extra step out of our comfort zone to make that happen.
Understand that your small gesture plants a seed in others. It may sprout immediately or in time. Small gifts are as powerful as water wearing away stone. The results aren't immediately apparent, but over the years a change appears.
Magically, that one little selfless gesture that you made to lift someone's spirits, that seed you planted, turns around and lifts your own.
