Genuine kindness and compassion seem elusive in today’s culture. Mother Teresa once said, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”
When those rare instances do occur, though, they become even more significant, as one woman discovered when reviewing video from her doorbell camera. The woman’s doorbell camera caught a little boy going door-to-door with a motivational speech.
A woman named Ashley from Minnesota shared a heartfelt video of a young boy who spoke to her through the door’s security camera and demonstrated a random act of kindness. The young child in the video delivered an extraordinarily motivational speech while waiting outside Ashley’s door.
You matter alright? he said as he waved an insect out of the way and pointed at the camera. “There’s always going to be somebody that cares about you. You’re a good person, no matter what people say, you matter.”
The young boy stopped other boys from trying to ding-dong ditch her house as they were going by.
In response to their behavior, he remarked, “Ignore them, they’re losers, they’re ding dong ditching you and I’m just trying to say something nice.” Before he walked away he said, “Whoever you are, you matter to someone. Keep that in mind, don’t forget that.”
More than 100k people liked and commented on this brief video. Some users commented that “someone gotta let him know that he matters too,” while others concurred that “we need more kind kids in this world.”
Being kind has a favorable influence on you as well as on other people, so it benefits everyone. Kindness is something that everyone could use more of in their lives.
This upbeat video’s main takeaway is that showing compassion to others can have a positive impact.
In this day and age, it is crucial to practice kindness. You never really know who is most in need or what others are dealing with. The boy, according to several users, made their days happier and improved their self-esteem.
Both words and deeds have value. The next time you wish someone a good day, just remember that your words were significant and that they will probably reflect on the conversation in the future.
Being kind goes a long way and this little brave boy has a wonderful future ahead of him.
