Day 6 of the 31 Day Blog Challenge: Your last random act of kindness

 

This is kind of a tough one to come up with, I honestly try to do something nice for someone every day. I don't sit and count all the nice things that I do for someone, I think that would defeat the purpose of the whole act. I honestly just have kept a personal goal to reach out to people and help them in any way possible. Those random acts of kindness don't need to be bragged about putting others down, just simple , quiet acts of kindness are the best.

 

The greatest example of that would be secret sisters, at girls camp or cheer camp we would always have secret sisters. I know that for me when people do  random things for me it always makes me happy, even the ones that I have no clue who did it makes me feel special. It's good to know that people are out there that would go out of their way to do things for me. The main reason why I loved secret sisters is because it taught us that we could do really nice, charitable things for someone else without having to take credit for it. Even though when you do something nice for someone it always warms your heart, but the purpose of doing that act is to help somebody else out, it's not for your own benefit (at least that's my own opinion).

 

One of my favorite sayings comes from the Hymn "Have I done any good in the world today?" The title says it all. I keep this saying post on my mirror in my room to be as a little reminder to do those random acts of kindness everyday. I honestly believe that if we strive to do one act of kindness for someone everyday that we would find greater joy in life. I know that when I'm feeling down or discouraged the first thing that I turn to is what can I do for someone else?
