What will you do today to brighten someone’s day? 🌻

You never know what might come of it…

A few weeks ago, I was waiting for the train home, listening to my favorite playlist.

The train arrived, and we all lined up neatly on either side of the doors.

Across from me stood a woman in her late twenties.

Our eyes met, and she flashed a huge smile at me. 😁

I was so caught off guard that I wasn’t sure I’d seen it correctly…

Then I noticed she did the same with everyone who caught her eye, over and over again.

By chance, we ended up sitting across from each other in the train car, and I saw the same scene play out again.

I paused my music and asked her if I could pay her a compliment.

Well, she was not opposed to it... 😉

After I told her how cool it was that she beams at everybody, we got talking.

She introduced herself, asked my name and what I do.

I told her about coaching veterinarians and supporting veterinary clinics—about my vision for a mentally strong profession that supports one another, where psychological safety and trust are key.

A smile appeared on her face:

“Well, that’s quite the coincidence…”

Turns out, she’s researching job satisfaction and employee retention in the healthcare sector!

Specifically focusing on what’s going well. 💜

We exchanged contact information, and I’m now eagerly awaiting her next publication, which has already been accepted!

Coincidence?

I think it was meant to be…

So, when was the last time you spontaneously made a nice gesture for someone?
