Inspired by Saint Thérèse’s “little ways”
Sometimes we think goodness needs to be big—like saving the world, or giving away everything we own. But the truth is, being good can be simple.
It could be holding the door for someone carrying heavy bags. Smiling at the security guard who stands all day. Listening to a friend who feels no one hears them. Sharing food when someone forgot theirs. Saying “thank you” even when people forget to notice the effort.
These are not grand gestures, but they carry quiet power. They remind us that kindness is not rare—it’s always within reach. And when we choose it, life feels lighter, cooler, more human.
Goodness is not about applause. It’s about love and humility in everyday moves. The kind of love that doesn’t ask for credit, the kind of humility that doesn’t keep score.
And maybe that’s the secret: being good is not hard. Being good is cool. Because every small act adds up, like drops of water becoming a river that refreshes the world.
Just like Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus taught with her “little ways”—to love in the smallest things, and in doing so, to light the world.
