Be Kind On Purpose: 25 Random Acts Of Kindness
loversiq

Recently it was Random Acts of Kindness Week, but we should NOT limit our kindness to 7 out of the 365 (366) days we are given. Kindness should be spread every single day because of its capability to change the world. This world is filled with so much hate and angst, it’s time to spread some goodness.

RELATED: With Love

I challenge you to be kind on purpose by doing one kind thing a day. I make it a goal to do three things every single day:

  1. Make someone laugh.
  2. Make someone smile.
  3. Encourage someone.

It does not seem like a lot, but if I can turn someone’s day around and make them happy for a small moment, I am going to do it. It does not take a lot of time or effort to be kind to those around you. You never know, you just might change’s a person’s life.

Here’s 25 Acts of Kindness:

  1. Write a Handwritten Letter
  2. Bake Someone Something Sweet
  3. Leave Someone a Positive Sticky Note
  4. Clean Gym Equipment When Done
  5. Write Chalk Messages on the Sidewalk
  6. Make A Meal
  7. Volunteer for Your Favorite Organization/Charity
  8. Send a Care Package
  9. Hold the Door Open
  10. Tell a Joke
  11. Return Someone’s Cart at the Store
  12. Call a Loved One
  13. Teach Someone Something New
  14. Say “Hello” to Everyone You See
  15. Smile at Everyone
  16. Tell Someone How Great They Are
  17. Buy A Coffee for a Stranger
  18. Set the Table for Dinner
  19. Walk Dogs at an Animal Shelter
  20. Plant Something
  21. Bring Flowers to Someone You Appreciate
  22. Talk to Someone New at School or Work
  23. Let Someone Go Ahead of You in Line
  24. Send a Card to a Service Member
  25. Leave Head’s Up Pennies on the Sidewalk

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
