Last week, I had the most interesting experience. I arrived at my favorite car rental established at 7:59 am. I pulled off the lot at 8:20 am, and by 8:50 am, the car engine ultimately killed, the battery was dead. Now, I am a little frantic because I was in a turning lane approaching a busy road. I was just over a mile from the car rental establishment because I stop at the post office. I called the car rental business to resolve the issue quickly, and I can be on my way with my tasks for the day.

Well, the manager and his team at the car rental place were unresponsive to a committed customer for over a decade. As I waited almost 2 hours for a tow truck, I only had four people to show kindness. Everyone else honked their horns in anger because I was in their way. Now, I had the hazardous lights on, which indicates that something is wrong; at least, I thought that was the reason for the hazardous lights.

As I observed the many aggravated people that only had to drive around the vehicle, I was surprised who genuinely offered to help and make sure I was okay. Compared to those who gave me the finger – not a friendly one. At that moment, the lesson that I learned was people who you believe would help do not, and people you think will not help you will surprisingly be the best support.

My "surprisingly supporting people" showed kindness is a selfless and compassionate action powered by LOVE.

Today, show kindness to EVERYONE!

Always Growing Forward
