Contributor Chapter:
The Moment That Will Change the World
CHAPTER INTRODUCTION
We rarely know how far a single act of kindness will travel. One person makes a choice. Someone else is touched by it. They make another choice. And before long, something that began between two people can reach lives neither of them could ever have imagined.
In this story, Kevin Smith shares how one young woman's simple decision to return his lost wallet became a turning point in his life. What happened afterward is a powerful reminder of SHARE: when kindness inspires kindness, the ripple can continue far beyond the original act, and sometimes one seemingly small moment can help set something much bigger in motion.
Author Bio:
Kevin Smith has been recognized as one of the world’s premier wealth advisors guided by his conviction that “the meaning of life is to live it in a way to make a meaningful difference.” The ripple effects of an act of kindness inspired him to form the global nonprofit Kindness Worldwide with a vision “to create a culture of kindness in communities throughout the world.” Its origin story is the subject of the award-winning film For Such a Time as This. In October 2024, Kevin delivered keynote remarks at the General Assembly of The World Kindness Movement in Italy. There, he called on leaders at all levels, including every member of the United Nations to elevate Kindness to the global shared value that represents all of humanity.
Kevin and his wife Anne live in York, PA, and are the proud “pet parents” of their dog Bella, who is an adorable lapful of charm in puffy white clouds of cotton ball hair.
