What are Random Acts Of Kindness? The feeling of being kind and compassionate towards other people and doing something for them selflessly. Yes, it is so simple but sometimes we take the task of being selfless so hard. Being selfless will not make you do harsh things for yourself but it will make you feel more content and happy. We are so busy in our lives that we juggle our tasks. And somehow we forget that our little effort can have a huge impact on someone else’s life.
Research has proved that being kind makes you happy. A small gesture of kindness can have a positive impact on your health and mind. As because your acts of kindness increase the levels of serotonin and dopamine in your brain that gives you a happy feeling. So it’s like a benefit for both ways. Your random acts of kindness can bring a big smile to someone’s face. So try to dedicate a tiny amount of time from your entire day to brighten up someone’s day.
It is true that someone alone cannot change the whole world but your one little act of kindness may inspire other people to do more acts of kindness and this way it may pass from person to person. And we can hope for a better world someday. Mother Teresa said, ” We feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” So we should always try to give some selfless love and concern to other people. So let’s start doing some random acts of kindness from today and here are some ideas to help you.
