Acts of Kindness, Altruism, Happiness, Love, Random Acts of Kindness, Selflessness

Before you can improve your life and find a measure of happiness, you must learn to do one thing every day out of pure love. That means, don’t expect anything in return—neither thanks nor happiness. Pick that occasion carefully. Then, whatever that one act of giving of yourself to someone else is, do it with all your heart. —Harold Klemp The Language of Soul

This is harder than it looks, particularly when we are mired in the busyness of life. If you purposefully try to plan something to do it becomes much easier.

The thing you choose can be as simple as cleaning up around the house for your loved one or making them a meal. Perhaps it is helping someone when they need help.

These little acts of kindness are beneficial because they focus your attention on something other than yourself. When you are acting in this way, something occurs. I always feel a sense of contentment. It isn’t an egotistical feeling, but one of satisfaction, so to speak.

One website that can give you some great ideas for these little acts of kindness is https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/

This website has collections of little things you can do for your neighborhood, your loved ones, anybody. I try to select at least one thing I can do daily that is simple but interesting to me. Something like telling a server at your favorite restaurant how well they did. You can pay it forward, by paying more for your coffee and telling the person taking your order to apply the difference to the next customer’s bill.

Visit this site to get a whole collection of ideas and stories of what others have done to make their world a better place.

There’s another quote by the late Paul Twitchell. It is: “To get love, you have to give it.” (paraphrased) This relates to what I am offering in this week’s wisdom posting. The more love you give out the more you get.

I hope all of you have a safe, happy, and relaxing weekend.

Until next time…

Anne Frank, Improving the world, Random Acts of Kindness

Today’s Quote:

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank

How does one improve the world? It can be as simple as a smile, handshake, or hug. It can be a selfless act without any expectation of reward or acknowledgment. It all revolves around the practice of giving and serving others. If you are having a tough time of it, volunteer to a charity, do something, anything for someone else. By getting your mind on someone else, instead of yourself, you’ll find that your mood will lift.

For some great ideas, go to this website: https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/

It is an outstanding site filled with all kinds of ideas for doing good for others.

I wish you well on your adventure!

See you tomorrow…
