Scott Adams once said, “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” What does it mean to show kindness? Is it saying something encouraging or positive to someone? Is it a behavior that you act upon by doing something for someone else? Does it involve being a friend? I think it could be all of these things and we celebrate kindness on this National Random Acts of Kindness Day. Kindness is more than a thought, it’s an action.
When I turned 19 years-old on my birthday of August 19, I decided to do 19 acts of random kindness for others. My purpose was to bring a little cheer to others and let them know someone cared about them. I wanted to take the focus off my birthday and onto serving others. The things I chose to do varied from donating school supplies to giving blood to sending an email to a teacher who impacted my life and writing encouraging notes with chalk on the sidewalk at a local park. Maybe this is something you can try on your next birthday.
Today on this National Random Acts of Kindness Day, I challenge you to do something kind for someone else. This could be a stranger or someone you know. It will be just as meaningful to you as it will be for them. To get ideas of ways you can show kindness, visit randomactsofkindness.org.
