Power of Encouragement, Small Acts Stacking

“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” – Joseph Addison

“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” – Yehuda Berg

Till the dry soil
Plant seeds, daily
Of hope
Peace
Kindness
Smiles
Invitation
Belonging
Joy
Compassion
Enthusiasm
Welcoming
Empathy
Hospitality
Laughter
Encouragement
Healing
Small acts
That stack, build, grow
Bloom
Keep planting
Good, inconceivable until it is
Love wins again and again
Not without struggle and toil
Fight the good fight

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”― Robert F. Kennedy
