Ripples of Kindness
Written on
How many times have you witnessed a ‘Random Act of Kindness’? Maybe someone paid for your coffee when you didn’t have change. Maybe they opened a door for you when your hands were full. Maybe they said a kind word when your day was dull.
Isn’t it beautiful when you are the receiving end of such good deeds? Doesn’t it make you want to do something like that for someone else?
Do it! Let’s start an avalanche of kindness. Let’s start the ripple now so that we can usher in 2017 with more love and kindness instead of hate and despair.
How do we do it?
First. Like the air hostess keeps telling us- secure your own oxygen mask before helping others. Keep a gratitude journal. This is for your eyes only. It could be online or scrawled on a tissue. Write at least one thing that you are grateful for each day till the year ends. (You can continue if you want to) Comment and let me know if you plan to do this. We’ll come back after New Year’s and see how it made a change.
Second. Comment below pledging small acts of kindness we can all do. Readers going through the comments, if you feel a certain action is something you can do too, reply to it and write ‘Me too!’.
