When you are driving through busy city streets and you encounter a car on a sideroad needing to turn on to your street, will you stop and let them in? It’s a simple act of courtesy and kindness, and it’s amazing how much influence it can have on somebody’s day.
If I’m desperately waiting for someone to let me in, and no one does, I get immediately grumpy and frustrated. But if a driver will stop short and wave me through, I am suddenly filled with joy and relief. I’ll give that driver a friendly and appreciative wave, and my mood will improve dramatically.
Such a little thing, but such a big difference it can make. Keep it in mind next time you’re on the road.
Food for thought, amen.
