Monday blues were in full swing today. Deadlines waiting, tasks piling up, crowded trains, honking vehicles, and a restless mind. Today was no different. On my way to the office, I was consumed by stress and irritation worrying about the day ahead, annoyed at my team’s errors, and battling the chaos of a busy street.
As I was hurrying across a tricky road where vehicles rarely slow down, something unexpected happened. Two little street kids pointed towards me. At first, I didn’t understand. I walked a few steps ahead, then turned back and realized — they were asking for help to cross the road.
I immediately walked back, held their hands, and guided them across. What struck me in that moment was not just the children’s trust but also the line of vehicles that actually waited for us until we were safe. For once, the world seemed to pause so that two little kids could safely cross.
The stress of the morning melted into a quiet smile. That small act brought an instant happiness and dissolved all my stress. It reminded me that even on the busiest days, joy hides in simple moments of kindness. Sometimes, helping someone else is the best way to help ourselves.
