Kindness

We live in a world where thousands of people die everyday. Women and children are hurt for absolutely no reason and some people are so self-absorbed that they forget to be nice. And yet, there are still many people who go out of the way to be kind to others. These people are the nameless superheros that our world so desperately needs.

After reading through twenty quotes about kindness I've picked out my favourite few that will hopefully inspire you to start doing at least one Random Act of Kindness each day. I promise you that you'll feel really good after you've done it. You don't need to spend lots of money, even smiling at a stranger is enough to make a change.


And, just in case you run out of ideas what to do as your RAK over the next few days, I've decided to jot down a few ideas:

• Bake cupcakes and take them to work/school for your friends and colleagues. This will also earn you a few more Brownie points.
• Make an extra sandwhich and give it to a person in need.
• Be extra polite to your irritating boss/colleague/sibling.
• Do something nice for yourself preferably something that makes you smile.
• Phone your grandparents and spend some time chatting to them. They'll love this.
• Laugh at someone's lame joke just to make them feel better.
• If someone says something rude to you just ignore them instead of making a big fuss about it.
• Take your pets for a walk.
• Donate to your favourite charity.
• Phone that friend of yours who's going through a rough stage.
• SMILE! It's contagious and you might just brighten up someone's day by showing off your lovely teeth.
• If you see someone struggling offer to help them even if you're really busy.

You see being kind is not too difficult, and so I challenge you to do at least seven acts of kindness before my next blog post. If you get a chance, tell me what you've done.  I'd love to hear from you all :)
