Making someone's day better.

We all have the ability to make someone's day better, if we choose to.

It might simply mean smiling and saying hi, or it could be about giving someone a hug, or sitting and listening to them.

It could mean organising something and inviting them to be a part of it or finding a gift that would make them feel special.

We might not be able to make everyone's day better, but we can choose to make someone's day better.

And when we do that, our day for sure gets better.

Here's a story from The Art of Possibility to make your day better:

Strolling along the edge of the sea, a man catches sight of a young woman who appears to be engaged in a ritual dance. She stoops down, then straightens to her full height, casting her arm out in an arc. Drawing closer, he sees that the beach around her is littered with starfish, and she is throwing them one by one into the sea. He lightly mocks her: “There are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see, for miles up the beach. What difference can saving a few of them possibly make?” Smiling, she bends down and once more tosses a starfish out over the water, saying serenely, “It certainly makes a difference to this one."
