The guy who cut you off on the freeway, the lady who was frustrated with you at the restaurant, the arrogant teenager in the store, each are fighting their own private battles.

Even your neighbors, friends, and loved ones are feeling the stress of inner conflicts common to all of us. Behind the put-together look and the cordial smile is an unseen personal fight to find answers to life's most complex questions.

Be the welcome surprise for others, be the uplifting influence of their day, be the one who takes the extra few minutes for the kind word and thoughtful response.
