Random acts of kindness☺

A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or people wishing either to assist or to cheer up an individual person or people. Random acts of kindness are a means by which we make a deliberate attempt to brighten another person's day by doing something thoughtful, nice, and caring. Kindness is a way of showing others that they count and that, even in the face of hostility and selfishness, you're making a stand for kindness. Originally associated with Anne Herbert, who is said to have once written "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" on a place mat in a restaurant, this concept has become an organized celebration through various events around the world, as well as referring to a general call to action in the name of kindness. And you don't need to wait for someone else to initiate a day or week of celebrations to practice random acts of kindness; you can put them into play any time you like!
Here are some suggestions for encouraging others with your random acts of kindness:
1. Be kind
2. Be thoughtful
3. Use your manners as a form of kindness
4. Give out compliments generously
5. Think about people who quietly make a difference to your community and thank them
6. Cheer up the lonely
7. Volunteer
8. Shower a coworker with kindness
9. Share a little wealth around
10. Give your family a break
11. Hold a friend's night-in
12. Write some thoughts on hope and leave it somewhere for a stranger to find
13. Forgive somebody
14. Share a smile
15. Expect nothing  

SO.. BE KIND☺
