A woman walked up to Brian and told him, Sometimes all you’re asked to do is something small. Brian thought the message odd, but he heard a voice inside him say, Thank her. So, he thanked her.
After she walked away Brian wondered what just happened.
Was the unexpected jingle of joy ringing inside him because he obeyed that inner voice and thanked her? How could something so insignificant as common courtesy have such a profound effect?

Excellent. “How could something so insignificant as common courtesy have such a profound effect?” Our words have a huge effect. It is hard to remember that some days.
