Yesterday at Euston Station...

I went to London yesterday for the monthly meeting with Dan Bradbury's mentorship group and on arrival at Euston Station, I had a bit of time so went outside for a bit to read my book in the Sun.

While outside...

I noticed this homeless man walking through the crowd looking at everyone but not approaching any. Suddenly when he saw me he proceeded to walk towards me.

When he got close...

He apologise for disturbing me but he was hungry and asked me if I could give help him by giving some money so he could eat. Without another thought in my mind I emptied my pocket and gave him all the money I had at the time. It wasn't much, probably £3 maximum.

His look of gratitude...

Smile and thank you, he gave me was all that I needed. He went to the nearest food stall and ordered his food. I felt really good and happy that I was able to help and proceeded to the meeting.

On my return from the meeting...

Around 530pm, in the same place, another homeless lady approached me and asked me for some money as she was trying to get the bus fare to go to the nearest shelter, where she could spend the night. Again I got all the change I had in my pocket and gave it to her (luckily I had withdrawn some earlier from the cash machine).

It was only £3 or £4...

But the smile and thank you I got from her made me feel fantastic. It is moments like this that make me truly appreciate what I have and feel grateful for all. Not for one moment I had any doubts in helping these two people.

Amongst the crowd...

For some reason they both picked me to ask for help, don't know if it was karma or if they sensed that I would help them, but I am delighted that they did and if I made a difference in their lifes, albeit as small as it was then it was all worthwhile.

Despite how difficult...

Your life is at the moment, spare a thought for those that are in worst situations than you, be grateful, kind and generous. You can make a difference with your actions, start today if you haven't already...
