There's something you need to know ...
... you touch people; you do:
the smiles you give (or don't),
the words you speak (or write),
the way you look at people,
the helping hand,
the opinion voiced (or not).
You make a difference in the lives around you. You really, truly do.
So smile a little more often.
Lend a hand despite your hesitation.
Voice your opinion gently.
Let your eyes sparkle, sometimes, when you meet another's eyes.
You make a difference.
You are touching lives, even when you can't tell a thing. Maybe someday
you'll know what a difference you've made; maybe you'll go to your grave unaware.
But your life makes the lives of those around you better, or worse,
depending on your choices.
"Be kind; for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle."
~ Philo of Alexandria
