Random Acts of Kindness

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to make a difference, performing random acts of kindness is a great start. The nice thing about random acts is that you do not have to plan ahead! It can be as easy as asking someone who is carrying a bag of heavy groceries if you can help or holding the door open for someone with a baby stroller.

To get ideas and inspiration, visit the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation online. Some of my favorite ideas are:

* Write a letter to an individual or organization that has made a      difference in your life
* Give directions to someone who is lost or help them figure out their  Metro stop
* Pick up trash
* Say “hello” and smile!
* Be generous with compliments

Another reason to perform a random act of kindness is that the benefit may not stop at the person you are helping. The Foundation shared a great article about the positive impact your kindness might have on someone who witnesses your good deed. Read more about it here.

If you have any favorite random acts of kindness, I'd love to hear them!
