So, there was this time I was in a bad place; my emotions were everywhere, so I decided to take a walk.

On getting back home, I noticed a hired laborer cutting the grass across the street. I walked to him and asked if he'd like a bottle of water, he answered in the affirmative, so I rushed in, got a big bottle and filled it with cold water.

A minute later, I walked back to him, and excitedly, he collected it and thanked me. I was moved by his gratitude, and had no money to give, so I asked him if he'd like some food; again he answered in the affirmative, “yes, Oga, I go like am”.

I went in for the second time, and in 30 minutes, my signature jollof spaghetti was ready. I packed some of it in a disposable plate, then in a leather bag, and gave it to him. He was so excited and spared no words in thanking me, “Ah, thank you Oga, thank you, you do well Oga” he said.

Happiness graced his face like a kid on Christmas morning. And as I turned to leave with gladness in my heart, he mumbled some Hausa words which I didn't understand, but I'm sure it was in appreciation.

This, I assure you, made my day.

There is this feeling of fulfillment and true happiness when you do something for someone who can't pay you back, especially a stranger, it heals you in ways even you do not understand.

Are you having a bad day? Do something kind for someone else, you'd feel happier when you see them smile.
