A beautiful story reminding us of the small yet noticeable ways we can spread acts of compassion and care for our environment. 💧 🌱 ⭐️

I love this story that illustrates small acts are important, too! So often, we think of things that need to be done, but we end up doing nothing because we think what we do won’t make a difference - like ending world hunger. Volunteering at the Food Bank for a Day helps someone; world peace is moved forward by being kind to people.

Small acts of kindness
Even small acts can make all the difference to someone. To the world you are just one person, but to one person you could mean the entire world.

I really like the message this story brings, whatever you do, it makes a difference. It may not seem like a lot, but it accumulates. This is so applicable to how we as a whole function nowadays, everyone needs to see instant results, big results, etc. Nobody is happy with smaller solutions. Trust in what you do!

This story helped me remember a difference can always be made no matter how big or small

Hi
Starfish Story
Our actions, no matter how small, make a difference. Sure one person may not be able to bring about world peace, but he/she can bring peace to another person and this makes a difference, this makes the world a better place.

This story was really sweet
Our actions, no matter small, have an effect and sometimes the little things are just enough.

Sea stars!
Just a note after listening to this story once again: these creatures are no longer referred to as “starfish”...they’re “sea stars”! And further, since first hearing this story here at some point in the last year, I’ve finally found out how sea stars move, and it’s pretty freaky! https://youtu.be/Lbg-tQ6FJgQ

Little things
This story really shows that little things do matter. We may not always see it, but even the smallest of actions matter to someone.

Small gestures
I learned that even if you aren’t helping a big group of people/animals you can make a difference to one of the people in the group.

Every act of kindness or charity makes a huge difference, no matter the size or volume. It is the sincerity and intensity of the spirit in which it is given or done that matters. Small steps done with the hope that they inspire others to do the same.

The smallest gestures will always have a ripple effect. It may not change the entire beach but it will change the stretch of beach you have walked

I learned that even though when completing a task you may only be making a small impact, that impact makes you one step further than you were before.

I learned that I can get through each day able to accomplish. Even if my accomplishments are small, they ARE accomplishments. Tackl, tackle, tackle.

You never know
I try and leave a sprinkle of positivity and hope with every human I come in contact with. I can remember moments when all hope was lost. it took a small gesture of kindness and love to pull me out of harms way. You may never know the mark you'll leave in a person's life but sometimes that mark fills them with the hope to keep living.

Reminder
What seems like a small act can make a huge difference to another. I always try to make others smile or laugh...to bring joy to another every day. This story reminds me that even though it is a small act for me it could mean the world to another. ❤️

I’m not really a beach person, but I loved putting my feet in the sand today and smelling the salt air. It relaxes me

You will always make a difference to the right people no matter how small you perceive it being.

I’ve tried to impart this kind of wisdom into my son who has felt quite hopeless with this unending pandemic, and having a teenage existential crisis none of my generation could have imagined possible, but my words don’t stick. Hopefully this will give him another perspective ♥️

Sometimes I feel the same. I would love to make
the world a better place. Unfortunately I can’t do that on my own. However I can do small deeds, that can improve other lives.

A Difference
We should all try to help Mother Nature when we can. Every little thing we do to help our planet makes a difference. If we work on one thing, like trash pick up or feed the hungry to recycling and throwing starfish back into the ocean. I like how the boy was positive and didn’t let anyone or anything get into his way. He was determined. Now, the gentleman could of helped but I guess his doubt got the best of him. Thank you for sharing this story.

I learned that nomatter how small of a difference you are making you are still making a difference no matter what you do.

This is such a simple act of kindness. Of thoughtful nurturing. If only we did this with ourselves and loved ones. Small acts can make a world of difference💝

Praise
I've been dealing with my feelings of self doubt and ego. Constant need of praise when it's OK to need or want that. I didn't get it when I was a kid and I need it now and I'm learning how to give it to myself.

I felt nice, calm, motivated
I learnt that we can help sb and change his life for the better. Baby steps but still make a difference

I felt appreciative and hopeful.
Helping even one person makes enough of a difference to change the life of two or more people.
