Lollipop Memory
Say goodbye to yesterday and say hello today today! Find your inspiration and give your mood a boost by making someone smile, laugh and view life differently. We all have the ability to act selfishly or selflessly. The actions we make can change a persons life, even when we least expect it. What we do can change the past the present and the future. To be selfless means putting others' needs before your own interests. This act of being selfless can come with gratification. It may not be easy but it is rewarding.
A story was told to me by a friend that reinstated everything I believe in. He knew of a guy that handed out lollipops on the first day of school to students at a university. The goal was to ease the apprehension of first year students. He went up to one new comer and handed him a lollipop, and told him to give the lollipop to a girl standing next to him. The two had never met before. At the end of being told this story, I found out that six months ago he ended up attending their wedding. It is the small steps, the leaps of faith and chances you take in life that could change the life of someone else or even yourself. That small act of kindness created a relationship between two strangers. Two strangers that ended up spending their life together.

Everything you do has meaning. Whether it means something to you, or the person next to you. Just like the lollipop scenario, the random acts of kindness could be a lasting memory for someone. The smallest action could change someones perspective on life. It may even turn a bad day into a beautiful one.
Everyone has a little rain, its the way we perceive the rain that makes it beautiful
