Random Acts of Kindness Abound
The holidays bring out kindness in many people and that is a wonderful thing. However, sometimes we have to look for opportunities other times in the year to be kind for no reason at all.
Being kind is easy when we know the person or even when we have a specific intent, but have you ever thought about being kind for no reason at all other than it is the right thing to do? If every person in the world made it a priority to do one really nice thing a week for no reason and with no motive, the world would be a better place.
Many times, people believe that you have to have lots of money to be kind, but that simply isn’t the case. It takes no money to visit someone in a hospital or nursing home that might otherwise not have had a visitor. It takes no money to read with a child even when you are very busy. If you look around, the opportunities are endless.
Sure, at holiday time, everyone is in the spirit and may go out of their way to be kind, but spreading that throughout the year is not only good for others, it makes for an overall healthier you. If you are still in doubt, then I challenge you to try it for a month. Look for chances to be kind where you otherwise would have been oblivious to the opportunity. What have you got to lose? At the end of the month, you can decide if this is something that you could make a priority in your life and in turn spread to others.
