LL of my day

A stranger paid me a compliment today. It was one of those days where someone randomly says exactly what you needed to hear. Definitely ended my day with a lighter heart.

Really makes a difference when you hear it from a stranger

Isn't that strange? I suppose we (probably subconsciously) assume our loved ones are biased.

We're often told one of the keys to happiness is not needing external validation, and while I do think it's important to not have your value be made or broken on how people who don't know you see you - External validation just feels so dang good.

And - it's something that's so easy to do to spread positive vibes! It only takes a few seconds to pay a stranger a compliment, and it has the possibility to make their day. That's an incredible 'return on investment' 🤭

About Little Lights

/c/LittleLights

A place to share the small moments of kindness that shine through everyday life. Share the little lights you witness, experience, or create.

We all encounter small acts of kindness, but they often go uncelebrated, or even unnoticed. This is a place to share those moments: the cashier who covered someone's coffee when their card declined, the neighbor who snowblowed the whole block during a blizzard, the driver who let you merge into heavy traffic with a friendly wave. Whether it made your day, or just caught your attention, we want to hear about it. The more we look for the little lights, the brighter our lives become.
