Stories of Kindness from Around the World

As I walked along the city streets, I passed a man who was rummaging through a small strip of land that contained a mix of leaves and debris.  Finding this slightly odd, I asked him, "What are you searching for?"  His response, very simply, was bills of money. 

Upon further conversation, I found out that he had become homeless just a month-and-a-half ago after getting laid off from his job and dropping out of college.  Since then, he had been working odd jobs and alternating between the doctor's office and the food bank.  The man seemed fairly competent, albeit dirty, and I was somewhat puzzled why someone like him would be rummaging through debris searching for buried dollar bills.

I offered him a fresh-baked whole wheat peanut muffin from a batch that I had baked that day.  His eyes lit up, and he eagerly jumped on my offer.  He immediately unwrapped the muffin with his dirty hands and quickly began devouring the treat on the spot.

I used this opportunity to leave him with an insight about the universal Law of Attraction.  I told him that our thoughts create our reality, and I suggested that he focus on doing and thinking things that feel good to him deep inside.  As he munched on the whole wheat muffin, this seemed to resonate with him, and he was reminded of a course from his collegiate studies. 

My sense tells me that he may begin to see things a little differently from now on.  While walking away, I held an image of a man consuming a muffin packed with the potential to raise his vibration and evolve his consciousness.  And so it is!
