We are bombarded every single day with news that is bad, upsetting, unsettling, depressing, discouraging, frightening, painful, troublesome, distressing, frightening. The list goes on and on and on...
Goodness and kindness get overshadowed by the bad, upsetting, unsettling, depressing, discouraging, frightening, painful, troublesome, distressing, frightening....
You can't control what shows up in your head but you can control what you do next. Look for stories and actions that overshadow all the noise and negativity. Random acts of kindness are are simple, non-premeditated actions that brighten someone's day. When you pass along a kindness, that gesture may soothe a soul, bring a smile, or give hope that perhaps the world may not be so bad after all.
In the big picture, random acts of kindness may seem small. But no matter how small, little kindnesses make a big difference. Remember...
“Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.”
~ Roy T. Bennett
