Coffee Kindness

A few weeks ago while I was at Starbucks, the customer in front of me paid for my coffee. I was slightly baffled at first, but then I felt this great sense of thankfulness, and love. This person wanted to do something nice for me. A complete stranger.

I smiled about this all day long, and I still smile about it today. If only the world could have more simple acts of love and kindness like this. If each person could do something nice for another person each day. Its not about money. It's just about providing some form of kindness. A compliment, or even a simple smile can lift someone's spirit completely.

I work in the hospitality industry. I try to keep a smile on my face and a kind word on my lips all day long. I know that the people walking into my area of work could be having a very rough evening. I do whatever it takes to remain composed and happy. I know that if I can say something nice, or give them a smile they notice, it could change their whole night.

My belief is that with positive feelings and actions, you draw in more positive responses. This goes for everything in life including health, wealth, and anything else you might dream about. I am newer to this thought line, but even as a newborn to this thought process, I have seen some great results and I know it's only going to get better from here.

Today when I went back to Starbucks, I bought the person behind me their morning coffee. I hope that person will smile like I did when I received a free coffee because someone else wanted to show kindness to a complete stranger. I know that just doing this will make me smile for the rest of the day.
