Seconds Chances

In a time when many are thinking about changes they want to make for the new year, what if instead we changed for only a second, rather than a day, week, month or year  What if we dedicated a second each hour to a beautiful thought, a compliment, forgiving someone or sharing a word of kindness and encouragement?  What if we gave seconds chances to change us?

Many people's lives have been changed in a second. The second they saw their future husband or wife, the second their child was born, the last breathe of a loved one, the second they committed to a cause, or the second they looked into the eyes of mortality. The second they knew there was more to life than just pleasing oneself.
