The Unexpected Gift

Earlier this week, I placed an order for beauty products from an amazing member of an online network group I’m part of. When the package arrived, it wasn’t just the beautifully wrapped products that caught my eye—it was a small but powerful note tucked lovingly amongst the goodies.

The note simply said:"Note to self: You don’t have to please everyone."

I couldn't help but smile. It was such a thoughtful surprise that I placed the note right next to the lamp on my dressing table—a tiny but powerful reminder in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The Ripple Effect Begins

The next morning, as I was getting ready for work, the note caught my eye again. Something told me to slip it into my pocket and take it with me.

Arriving at the office, the Monday morning buzz was in full swing—chatter about weekend adventures, to-do lists growing by the minute, and that signature aroma of fresh coffee brewing in the breakroom.

As I tucked my lunch into the fridge, I noticed one of my colleagues looking particularly stressed, anxiously scanning a hefty to-do list. You could almost see the pressure weighing down their shoulders.

That’s when I remembered the note in my pocket.

The Magic Moment

While preparing our morning coffee and tea, I quietly walked over to their desk and slipped the note next to their coffee cup.

The reaction was pure magic.

A look of surprise crossed their face, quickly replaced by a huge, genuine smile. You could almost feel the tension melt away. They looked up at me with gratitude sparkling in their eyes and said, “Thank you. I really needed that.”

That small, thoughtful gesture, inspired by a stranger who had included that note in my package, ended up being the high point of my day. And, I dare say, it might have been the highlight of theirs, too.
