Small gestures can make a big difference in someone's day, even in someone's life. In our fast-paced world many people tend to only pay attention to what is important to them.
Many times a person who receives an act of kindness is a total stranger, someone who will not be able to repay your kindness. Has someone performed a random act of kindness for you? Did you pay it forward and do something kind for someone else? How did it feel to receive that kindness? And how did it feel to perform a kindness for someone else?
We are looking for true stories about random acts of kindness that have happened to you or stories about a kindness that you performed for someone else. Stories can be serious or funny but they should definitely inspire our readers to look for ways in which they can perform kind acts.
Here are some ideas but we know you can think of many more:
How an act of kindness you received changed your life or changed you as a person
Performing an act of kindness for a family member
Performing an act of kindness for a total stranger
Paying it forward
The unexpected benefits of doing something kind for someone
The unexpected benefits you got from something kind someone did for you
Changing your life by doing one random act of kindness each day
Turning negative into positive
Having someone go above and beyond for you
How a total stranger did something kind for you
Having your eyes opened, your preconceptions changed, by an act of kindness from a stranger
Holiday kindnesses, at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, etc.
