Kindness Is Contagious.....

Gandhi once said:“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”

Kindness is actually contagious, and you might want to consider carrying out random acts of kindness on a daily basis.
It is truly a win/win/ situation. The person you are being kind to benefits through your help. You feel good for having helped someone. And the world is a better place through your kindness. When you do something nice for someone else it always comes back to you in a positive way 10 times more...

Here are many suggestions to get you going on your journey of goodness;

1. Make a card at home and send it to a friend for no reason.
2. Donate time to a nearby soup kitchen.
3. Put some coins in someone else’s parking meter.
4. Give care packs to the homeless. (sandwich, drink, blanket....)
5. Walk your friend’s dog.
6. Give a compliment about your waiter/waitress to his/her manager.
7. Offer free babysitting to a single parent.
8. Clean up graffiti in your city.
9. Let someone jump the line at the bank, grocery store, restaurant.... 
10. Donate good used books or videos to your local library.
11. Treat a friend to the movies for no reason.
12. Give clothing that you don't wear any longer to someone that needs it. 
13. Hold the door open for someone (car, store, school, library....)
14. Give up your seat for someone, not just an elderly person.
15. Write notes of appreciation to a co-worker at least once a week.
16. Help a child learn.
17. Pick up some garbage in the road which would otherwise be lying around.
18. Compliment someone at work for their excellence.  
19. Give another driver your parking spot.
20. Offer a cool glass of water to a delivery person.
21. Help an elderly neighbor that lives near you with yard work.
22. Tell all your family members how much your appreciate them daily.
23. Give someone freshly picked flowers when they least expect it.
24. Buy an inspirational book for a friend that is feeling blue.
25. Offer a friend to help them with their spring cleaning.
26. Smile a lot.

Once you get started, you may find it a habit hard to break! Kindness doesn't always have to be a material object, just giving your love, time and encouragement can mean so much more.

This is one of the most unselfish video that I've ever seen. It shows that empathy and kindness can be felt at any age....get your tissue....

Stay Healthy....
