That..small “moment

Changed mine life

By Rimsha Ashraf Published 3 years ago 3 min read

There was a small moment that had a huge impact on my life. It happened when I was a teenager, and I was struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. One day, I was walking to school, and I came across a small, old lady who was struggling to carry a heavy bag of groceries.

Without even thinking, I rushed to her aid and offered to carry her bag for her. She smiled and thanked me, and we walked together for a few blocks, chatting about our lives.

As we parted ways, she turned to me and said, "You know, you're going to make a great friend to someone someday. Your heart is kind and your spirit is strong. Don't ever forget that."

Those simple words from a stranger had an incredible impact on me. It was the first time anyone had ever called me kind or strong, and it gave me the confidence to believe in myself. From that moment on, I started to see myself in a new light.There was a small moment that had a huge impact on my life.
