Ripple

emotional wellbeing healing through kindness kindness matters May 30, 2025

Every act of kindness creates a ripple with no end. 

 

Lately, I’ve been reminded of how small acts of kindness can have far-reaching effects. When you change somebody’s day for the better, everyone that person interacts with afterward will most likely benefit from your positivity. 

 

In the same way, a negative interaction can ripple through someone’s day just as easily. Too many people don’t feel seen, heard, or valued. What if all it takes to make someone’s day is a simple greeting, a smile, or a small act of kindness? 

 

It takes at least 21 days to form a habit. If you’re not the type of person who usually greets and smiles at strangers, try doing it every day for the next month. See how your perspective shifts. Notice the impact your kindness has on others. And please remember, not everyone will be open to this interaction. But often, those are the people who need it the most. 

 

What kind of ripple effect will you create in the world?
