The little things we do (or dont do) make a difference in peoples lives, and that can be for better or worse. How many kids could have been in the NFL Hall of Fame but somewhere along the line were discouraged? What if a coach told a 15 year-old Joe Montana, Hey youre really not a very good QB. Maybe you should think about another sport. Had that happened, who knows? Conversely, encouragement can have the opposite effect. Thats a sports example, but this applies to everything...all of the interactions we make with others. And more often than not we dont know the effect our words and actions have on them. So have a kind word for a stranger, help an elderly person load groceries, stop and help someone change a tire. Good deeds and kind words come back to us, in spades.
