You Never Know

If Only You Would Have Known...

Australian educator Toby Lieder says there are many things in life you would regularly do if only you knew that...

By Toby Lieder

You never know when you are making history...

You never know when the kind word you said today made a huge difference to a person in pain...

You never know when someone calls you Thursday night, it may be because they want to get invited for Shabbos...

You never know what that cup of water meant to the repairman working for you...

You never know what your big smile has done when your spouse came home...

You never know the ripple effect that a random act of kindness of yours...

You never know what happened after you gave a Shabbos candle to a Jewish woman in the hospital, or on the street... 

You never know how impactful your quick visit to the hospital room was...

You never know what the guest at your Shabbos table will be copying at their own one day...

You never know how much more your children learn from just watching you, than listening to you...

You never know how much more effective you are when you talk rather than shout...

You never know the long-term impact of 10 undisturbed minutes with your child... 

You never know how now expressing a grievance can do more than a loving word...

You never know how much love and respect you will get if only you showed the same to others...

You never know what would happen if you gave 2 compliments for every word of criticism...

You never know what kind of life you will have if you remembered that G-d runs this world and only expects you to do your best...

You never know... until you try!
