Random Act Of Kindness Day

There are countless acts of kindness that can be done on a daily basis. Here are five acts of kindness that can make someone’s day: 1) Paying for someone’s coffee in line behind you, 2) Holding the door open for someone, 3) Leaving a positive note on a coworker’s desk, 4) Letting someone go ahead of you in line, or 5) Picking up trash when you see it on the ground. Something as small as a smile can also brighten someone’s day. Acts of kindness not only make the recipient feel good, but they also make the giver feel good.

Most of us grew up with the old adage, "Treat others as you would like them to treat you." Known as the "golden rule," it simply states that you should treat others as you would like them to treat you.

This distinction is frequently attributed to Anne Herbert, who in 1982 wrote, "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" on a placemat at a restaurant in Sausalito, California.
