I’ve always believed in the quiet power of giving. Not through big, dramatic gestures, but in small, consistent ways like sharing someone’s post, recommending their services, or simply shining a little light on their work.
Over the years, I’ve tried to use my own social media pages to support others, especially fellow businesses. I remember once highlighting the work of a local business owner which took me less than five minutes to write the post, but for them it brought new customers and real encouragement at a time they needed it most.
The interesting thing is, that support rarely comes back in quite the same way. But that’s never been my motivation. I don’t do it expecting a favour in return. I do it because generosity creates ripples, even if you don’t always see where they land.
In a business world so often focused on transactions, I believe sharing for the sake of kindness has its own quiet reward.
So, I’ll ask again: are you a sharer?
