Make the World a Better Place

Go ahead, try it! Make the world a better place. It's easier than you think!

As you go through your day, look for opportunities to do something nice for someone. Be random. Be kind to someone you know. Be kind to a total stranger. Let yourself go. Then watch what happens. A Random Kind Act will have an impact on that someone. Just as amazing, a Random Kind Act will have an impact on YOU.

Here are some ideas...

• Put a quarter in a parking meter that has expired


• Give a lottery ticket to a stranger


• Compliment a stranger sincerely


• Cut coupons out and leave them at the register for others


• Drop a few coins in an area where children play, where they can easily find them


• Write a note of appreciation to your mailman


• Write a note to someone who has treated you nice while doing their job (waiter, clerk, sales person, etc.)


• Cut an article out of the newspaper that would interest a friend and mail it to them


• Leave "Have a nice day" stickers at a front desk


• Start a conversation up with a co-worker that you don't know


• Leave something cheery or nice for your co-workers (fun post-its, fun office supplies, candy, etc.)


• Put change in a row of vending machines


• Put something you no longer need on Craig's for free


• Put a comment on someone's webpage that you really like... let them know you enjoy it"

Encourage Kindness With Children

Our children are the key to making a difference in our world tomorrow.

It is easy to get children excited about kindness. Here are some great ideas:

~ Have a child deliver a hand-made card to your neighbor

~ Gather up kids in your neighborhood and take them to a local orphanage or shelter to deliver some balloons and cookies

~ Ask a child to share or give one of his/her toys

~ Bake brownies with a youngster and have them pass it on to the mail-man or janitor, with a thank-you note

Suggest some of these kindness ideas to a school teacher to help spread the word!
