Random Acts of Kindness.

********

What qualifies as a "Random Act of Kindness"?

There are many actions that can be 

Random Acts of Kindness!

***************

Here are a few ideas 

to help you get started on your own path 

to contributing to the world with 

Random Acts of Kindness:

Listening to someone who needs a person to talk to and not

paying attention to how much time you are spending, before they are finished talking.

Asking someone if they could use some help with something in their life that is difficult for them to accomplish, on their own.  This could be helping them unload their groceries, preparing a meal, folding their laundry, or checking on them regularly.

Paying attention to the people around you and noticing when they are not as happy as usual or having a difficult day, then offering your time to listen and/or support.

Surprising someone, unexpectedly, with something you know they would love (that does not have to cost money). Usually, all it takes is a little creativity and a few minutes of your time. This could be as simple as getting something for them while you are up, or going that way, to surprising them with something like a blanket, warm cup of coffee, or retrieving the mail for them.

Doing the unexpected simply by making an extra batch of cookies or doubling a meal recipe, then delivering it to them when it is convenient to you.  They will be shocked, surprised, and happy to have the relief of having something homemade that they did not have to dream up and prepare themselves.  The thought of that kind act, will resonate long into the future.

These are but a few examples of Random Acts of Kindness, but I am sure you can come up with your own unique ideas that easily fit into your normal everyday life.  

Notice that the examples that I gave all begin with an action word:  Listening, acting, paying attention, surprising, and doing the unexpected.  

What can you think of that would qualify as a 

Random Act of Kindness?

Look for the Positive Around You!

Look for the positive around you
and suddenly, 

you will find, 
it is in everything and everyone!



 It's been there all along.

You just weren't looking for it, 
in the right way.

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE!

"The two most important days 

in your life 

are the day you are born 

and the day 

you find out why."

~Mark Twain

Love Yourself

If there is no enemy within, 

the enemy without can do you no harm.

~African Proverb

Change Our Thinking...Change the W O R L D !

"The world we have created 

is a product of 

our thinking. 

It cannot be changed

without changing our thinking."

~ Albert Einstein

Think Positive!

Positive thoughts become positive actions.
Positive actions become positive gifts.
Positive gifts become positive memories.
Positive memories become positive lessons for life.

Sharing your positive lessons that you have learned from life is your way of giving back to the world in a positive way. 
It is contributing what you have learned, 
so that others may also learn.
That, is a positive thought.

Decide What's Important...

Not everything that counts can be counted, 

and not everything that can be counted counts.

~Albert Einstein

Dedication of one, has benefited many...

"It was their individuality 

combined with the shyness of their behavior 

that remained the most captivating impression 

of this first encounter with the greatest of the great apes."

Curiosity is not just for humans...

The first and the simplest emotion 

which we discover 

in the human mind

is Curiosity.

~Edmund Burke

When we explore and look at things from a new perspective, 
we can discover something new 
from something old.

Calm, Cool, and Collected...

F E A R...

"No passion 

so effectually robs the mind 

of all its powers

of acting and reasoning 

as fear."

~Edmund Burke

******

Fear is just an emotion 

that is designed to protect us 

from a perceived threat, 

in order to help us 

make the best decisions 

to preserve our life and safety.

Overcoming fears 

that keep us from living our life are 

achievable goals.

Explore your world...OUR WORLD!

L I V E... N O W !

Life is an experience of endless possibilities!  

What you choose and how much you choose, is all up to you.

Taste the richness of beauty all around you and bathe in the vastness of knowing you could never achieve the completion of realizing all there is to appreciate and understand about the place we live.

But, never give up trying, anyway.
