It's the Little Things

This picture really speaks for itself, but think about it this way. It's the little things in life that mean the most. All they did was bring this homeless guy a decorated tree and some little gifts. Look at how he reacts. It wasn't that they gave him amazing things. They gave him some food, water, a blanket and some shoes. Those aren't extravagant things and yet he is completely and utterly happy.
We don't have to give people amazing and extravagant things to make them happy. It's always the little things in life that people remember way down the line. It's those little things that make such a difference in people's lives.
Go out and do something for someone. Even if it's just giving a compliment to a random stranger, do it. It will make their day as long as it is sincere and genuine. Go and make someone's day a little brighter.

Faith in Humanity Restored

This is a very simple story. Not many people would really think about it. They'd read it, get a little emotional, and go about their day.
But really think about it. This brother, Noah, was eight years old. He trained specifically so he could bring his six year old brother with him through a triathlon.
How many kids do you know who has this kind of love and devotion? How many people have this kind of selflessness?
Noah loved his brother so much that he was willing to put in five months of extra work to bring his brother with him. He worked hard in order to include his younger brother.
When going through life today, remember Noah. Remember the selflessness he had. Remember his dedication and love for his brother.
If an eight year old little boy can do something that selfless, what excuse do you have to be selfish.
Be selfless.
