Small Acts of Kindness

I have been very intentional lately about the energy I drop onto others. Going out of my way to spread good vibes. Promoting peace and kindness through action because I know these times carry heavy, dark weight. While I can’t offer someone a ticket out of whatever is burdening them, I’m a big believer in small acts of kindness. Whether I compliment a stranger’s outfit or wish someone a wonderful day, the goal is to leave someone with a smile. Putting into the universe opportunities for good hearted people to feel appreciated and to share love. Sending people into the rest of their days with a positive mood and confidence that can help them make a difference. 


You can never go wrong with kindness. Being nice is always the right move. Sharing joy and offering positive perspective is something we could all do more of. I believe positive thoughts are the key to happy living and sometimes positive thoughts are as easy to spread as saying them out loud. It might just be the inspiration someone needed. The motivation to keep going, or encouragement to pay it forward. The more lives we light up, the easier we’ll all see through the dark. If your candle is burning, you can use that flame to light another’s. We can all burn bright together.


A couple weeks ago I talked about focusing on the good. Reworking negative thoughts in an optimistic way. Believing in the goodness of people. The only person I can control is myself, so I must believe in my own goodness. My ability to make the world a better place. Putting out what I have to offer. Some people might see rain and feel bitter, wishing instead for the sun. I could be the one to rescript that narrative. “The rain is so peaceful today, I’m loving it” just might be enough to guide someone onto a more appreciative path. Handing out new perspective to anyone who might grab it. We all have so much to be grateful for and we are all guilty of sometimes needing that reminder. 


Satisfy your soul with positive thinking and then open the doors to that perspective for those around you. Inviting the souls around you to ignite. When it’s as simple as complimenting a stranger or sharing your own positive perspective, what’s stopping you? Joy is not sacrificed when shared, it is illuminated. Imagine a world of happy people. Darkness wouldn’t stand a chance.
