AS SHARED BY ONE FRIEND –

I WAS DRIVING TO THE OFFICE.

IT WAS LIKE ANY OTHER DAY. BUT I NOTICED ONE UNUSUAL THING AS I WAS DRIVING.

ONE BUS AT A BUS STOP PICKED UP PASSENGERS. JUST ABOUT TO START, A PASSENGER WAS ALLOWED TO JUMP IN. AN EXCITED PASSENGER CAME RUNNING FROM BEHIND THE BUS, THE BUS CONDUCTOR HAPPENED TO SEE HIM AND SIGNALED THE DRIVER TO PAUSE. AS THE BUS STARTED, ANOTHER EXCITED PASSENGER RAN TOWARD THE BUS AND GESTURED TO THE BUS DRIVER TO STOP THE BUS. AGAIN, THE DRIVER COMPLIED AND ALLOWED THE PANTING PASSENGER TO GET ON THE BUS.

THUS, THE BUS DRIVER AND THE BUS CONDUCTOR WITH THE RIGHT COORDINATION MADE THREE PEOPLE THEIR DAY WITH THEIR SIMPLE GESTURE OF KINDNESS.

I’M SURE THESE PEOPLE WERE VERY GRATEFUL TO START THEIR DAY WITH A SMILE. AND SURELY THIS DUO, THE DRIVER, AND THE CONDUCTOR HELPED THEM TO SET A BRIGHT, POSITIVE TONE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY IN THEIR ORDINARY LINE OF DUTY.

EACH ONE OF US HAS THIS INNATE POWER OF KINDNESS WITHIN US, WHICH WE CAN UNLEASH WITH JUST A LITTLE THOUGHTFULNESS.

 IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH TO BE KIND AND HAVE A LOVING, THOUGHTFUL HEART.
