Tomorrow is National Random Acts of Kindness Day, a day to cultivate feelings of kindness and brighten someone’s day. Every small act of kindness is significant, and you can never go wrong with kindness. You may think it doesn’t accomplish much; however, like the domino effect, one act of kindness can lead to more positive outcomes. Try uplifting others with compliments and compassion on this day.
This day was initiated in 1995 in Denver, Colorado, by a nonprofit organization called The Random Acts Of Kindness Foundation. New Zealand has picked up this day, and the holiday observance became more widespread.
It may seem that Random Acts of Kindness Day may not have been around for a very long time, but kindness has existed throughout human history. Some prominent historical figures who have made an impact through their selfless acts of kindness are Princess Diana, the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, and so on. Studies have also proven that kindness is an inherent part of nature.
Here are some random acts of kindness that you can try:
- Compliment a stranger
- Treat a homeless person to lunch
- Anonymously donate to a charity
