#12: The Kindness of a Stranger
When we are at our lowest, it’s hard to hear pep talks from the people we know and love. It feels as if they are required to care. Hearing that we are valuable from a kind and caring stranger can have a much more profound effect, especially if they have struggled with the same issues and they can sympathize.
I’m glad they’ve kept in touch, too. This is truly a case of how powerful human connection can be and why it’s important to reach out to those in need. You can make such an impact on those around you with a single conversation and a lasting effect just by occasionally checking in.
