Do something nice today. If you feel like it, do several nice things. Today when you are at work, or out running errands, eating dinner, whatever, hold a door open or let a car go in front of you in the parking lot. Do something nice and see what happens.

It can be for a stranger or someone you know. But make an effort to do something nice just for the sake of doing something nice. I promise it will lift your mood. Maybe you will inspire the recipient of your kindness to do something nice for someone, who will do something nice and so on. Imagine what could happen if we all focused on kindness a little bit more? What would our workplace be like? What would our home, our town be like?

Unfortunately rudeness seems to spread faster than a kind word, but it is worth a shot. Take a moment today and spread that kindess around. Pause a little longer in order to hold the door for someone or slow down just a bit so that person carrying the heavy bag can cross the parking lot. And don’t forget to smile. A warm smile is a great gift to give someone else.
