My first submission was rejected, and I just sent in a second submission. I have my own very small t-shirt company, so getting rejected by Threadless doesn’t phase me. . . I keep my favorite ideas for myself, and submit a few of my fringe ideas to Threadless to see if they will sink or sqim with that crowd.

That said, designing shirts is one of the most fulfilling things I have done. The creativity, control, and pay-off is mine, all mine!

Not only do I love the idea of random acts of kindness, I also love that this truly does feel like a game. The nice acts can be as simple or complex as you would like, and you can go to great lengths to conceal your identity (as I will, it’s half the fun :-) )

So many ideas, where to begin!?

And to the person who first posted this, consider a good deed done since your idea is inspiring other “doers-of-good!”

There are so many things I love to do (writing music, poetry, creating t-shirt designs, etc.) but I tend to measure my success in terms of how well my creations are received (i.e. critical feedback, sales volume, etc.)

I would like to spend some time defining what success means to me (not just focused on money, recognition, etc.) and gradually realign my life to be in sync with my true priorities.

I think this will be a huge challenge, so many things (like taking less money for a job I like better) are hard to do based on how I have been conditioned.

This could be enormously rewarding, though!
