An Act of Kindness
Yesterday, which would be Monday the 21st; I was stopped at a local gas station pumping gas in my SUV trying to justify the amount of money I was going to be paying for this fuel when it happened. I young man and his son pulled up across from me at the pump. The adult was yelling at the son about being late coming home from school. The adult got out of the vehicle and slid his credit card into the card read still yelling at his son. The son had the look of a deer caught in the head lights of an 18 wheeler bearing down on him. “Well, of course the poor kid has that look on his face” I said to myself. I just happened to turn torward the father when our eyes made contact! He looked at me for a few seconds and with a low gravelly voice said “what’s your damn problem”.
Let me tell you, I had many thoughts go through my head at this point. And at first, not a one was very kind. Oh, there’s that darn word, you know which one, the kind word. I continued to make eye contact with him and smiled. When I said, “did you hear that gas prices are going up again this week”? He looked at me like I was nut, little does he know, right? I turned and smiled that the son who was still sitting deep in his seat on the passenger side of his car. I asked the son if he goes to school around here. The son turned and looked at his father as if he was looking for permission to speak.
The father said to his son, “Go ahead boy, answer the man”! The son turned back toward me and said “I do, I go to Wilson Mid School”. At that point I began to carry on a conversion with the son for a few minutes, and yes, I was still filling my 30 gallon SUV! During this time, I watched the father out of the corner of my eye and noticed that he was starting to calm down. The father finished and started to get back into his car. The son thanked me for talking with him and smiled. The father looked over at the son and said, “Are you ready to go”? The son replied with a nod of his head and turned forward. As the father looked up at me I said, “You have a wonderful and polite young man there, someone to be proud of”! The father turned to his son and smiled. He looked back up at me and said, “I do and I am. Thanks for reminding me”!
An act of Kindness goes beyond what we can sometime imagine. By being Authentic to ourselves it becomes so much easier to be our authentic selves to others. When we are passionate about being who we are from the inside out, our authenticity flows into the nooks and crannies of the world that we would never think could be possible. What we do and how we do it starts as an inside job. Working from within will begin to change our exterior landscape. The more we work from the inside out, the more the external world changes.
Do you have a story that changed you or someone around you? Please share it with us. THANKs for everything!
