Impact....

You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed that smile you gave them. You never know how much your kindness turned someone's entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk. So don't wait to be kind. Don't wait for someone else to be kind first. Don't wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind, because you never know how much someone needs it.

This is so true. Most of the time, we have no idea how our actions impact others, in both good and bad ways. But sometimes we are given insight into our actions. I have had several instances where something I had done for someone, something I never even gave a second thought about, turned out to make a difference in their life. I only found out by accident years later.

Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
