a kind word

sometimes the most important thing we can do during one day is speak one kind word to someone we see. whether it's just a hello or encouraging them about something you enjoy about them or offering them a compliment, these small actions and words can create waves of importance. but it's more than a "pass it on" kind of thing. it's about how that small thing becomes a wave within that one person's life. that small word or phrase could alter their attitude completely for a day, week, even month or more. their self-esteem could have been at the lowest point of desperation and that one compliment made them rise to a point of survival again. we don't know where someone is in their life: a hole, a mountain, a valley, or swimming in an endless ocean. but one thing is certain-a kind word will always help them along in their journey no matter where they are.
