Have you ever read or watched a video that started off with... this will restore your faith in humanity? That has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves, because you see no matter how bad it may seem on any given day or year, I have never lost faith in humanity.
Every day there are millions upon millions of people doing good in our world. From a baby kissing a kitty to people willing to help someone cross the street. Libraries being filled with donated books and people being given life saving blood by people willing to give of themselves, literally. Neighbors helping neighbors in times of need or writing a Thank You letter to someone.
It all matters.
I love the idea of good vibes being sent out from me, making a ripple throughout the world. What happens when my good vibes hit someone else's good vibes and someone else's? A never ending vibration. It's there, I just know it is.
I'm sure everyone in my life has been a volunteer at some point in their lives. More often than not, my friends, family and even acquaintances are regular volunteers. I see and hear about it all the time. You all coach soccer, drive half the neighborhood kids to their games, make costumes for the local theater, take people to the airport or just volunteer your time sitting with someone at a doctors appointment.
My faith in humanity is strengthened by just the nice things that people do on a daily basis. Simple things like smiling, holding the door or letting someone pull into traffic in front if you. I know many people who make food for a friend, if they find they aren't feeling well. I hear all the time about those that pay for the coffee for the person behind them at the drive thru, but just as often those that have received that random act of kindness.
I have not lost faith in humanity. I will not lose faith in us. We are the strong, the loving, the beautiful and the giving. We make this world a joy to behold and we make people laugh, smile and feel loved.
Have a great day!
Kristin
