If everyone would purposely say something nice to at least one person each day, I think the world would be a better place. Maybe we’d start a ‘pandemic of niceness.’ Lord only knows we could use it about now! Try to make at least one person smile each day. You can speak just one kind word to anyone, it doesn’t matter who. Then count, if you dare, the amount of happiness just you could spread in a week, a year, a lifetime!

The lack of courtesy and abundance of impatience in today's world is out of control. So many seem full of some kind of rage — road rage, restaurant rage, standing in the grocery store waiting to check rage. But there’s power in a loving touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or an honest compliment. You could be the life-changing factor in someone’s day. “A man has joy in an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word!” Proverbs 15:23, NASB. Give it a try! Make an on-purpose decision today to be the person you would want to bump into if you were down.

 
Go ahead, try it. Look in the mirror and say something nice to yourself. Flash a great big happy smile. Now go out and share that with others like you mean it. Oh, what a blessing you are going to be. This is going to be a great day.
