Book excerpt: The Power of Kindness A simple act of kindness can brighten someone's day. It can be what they remember about that day, what they talk about. More often than not, it will inspire them to act, to carry forward the beauty of that moment. One simple act can create a chain reaction of shared acts of kindness - that is what this book is all about. Consider the people that cross your path each day -- family, friends, co-workers, grocery clerks, a gas station attendant, barber or hairdresser. Each contact, no matter how fleeting, presents an opportunity to make a difference. It can be as simple as the words you choose, the smile you shine or a quiet gesture you make. When you are guided by your heart in each of your daily encounters you are more present in the moment, more in tune with the people you meet and more connected to the world around you. This is among the greatest gifts you can give to others and to yourself. "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams Inspiring others to act begins with doing for others. Positive connections with people have a direct impact on how we feel about ourselves. Sharing that feeling with others creates a wonderful spirit and enthusiasm that is both contagious and powerful.
