Have you ever been the recipient of a random act of kindness?

Perhaps you got something in the mail, received a treat on your desk at work, or got a heartfelt phone call?

Receiving a random act of kindness feels good. You feel valued, loved, and appreciated. 

But when it comes to acts of kindness, giving can be even more fulfilling than receiving.  

So, are you ready to take on the random acts of kindness challenge?

What Is a Random Act of Kindness?

A random act of kindness is a small display of thoughtfulness, empathy, or love aimed toward another person. 

You can perform a random act of kindness for a friend, family member, or coworker. Or, you can surprise a complete and total stranger.

Either way, these everyday acts of love are powerful messages. They let the recipient know that someone in the world loves and values them. And these affirming messages of self-worth can become amplified tenfold—if they’re passed on.

What is the random acts of kindness challenge?

 We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

—Winston S. Churchill

Acts of kindness can spread like wildfire.

So, today’s challenge: commit two random acts of kindness. 

It doesn’t have to be big, expensive, or time-consuming. In fact, the most precious gifts are often simple, everyday actions that help make someone else’s day easier, lighter, and brighter. 

For example, today, as I purchased my morning cup of coffee from the drive-thru, I paid for the coffee order in the car behind me. Simple as that!

See if you can perform two random acts of kindness today.
