do random acts of kindness

I’d love to do this, but I think two things are holding me back: 1) The fear that people will think I’m nuts 2) The fear that I will be seen as a sucker – There’s an old saying out there that people don’t seem to realize: “Never mistake kindness for weakness…” Hmmmm…I’ll have to think on this and then get in gear later on.

I think I should try and do one for a certain someone.

I may have made a start on this last week. I think I am seeing the positive effects.

I think I have to be able to see a need or where I can help before I can do this one further.

I gave an elderly neighbour of mine some apples off my tree. She offered to make me a pie out of them, but that wasn’t the reason I gave them to her!

I’ve given people my parking tickets in the past because they hadn’t expired, but right now I’m racking my brain to come up with some good deeds. You’d never have guessed I was in the Browines when I was younger would you! Ideas anybody?

I think it’s important for me ‘not’ to do it for my own satisfaction with the expectation of gratitude. I think I would need to see it as just something that I do for the hell of it.

I will be helping a kids with cancer organization. Woke up one day and realized more people need money more than I do. I hope other people will do too. Esp. those who have more money than they can spend. Any amount are greatly appreciated by these organizations. You may help financially or be there for the needy. I too don’t have that much money but I’m glad I’m not the one who needs it badly for an operation or something. When I get the time to do volunteer work I will. I hope other people realize how fortunate they are and start helping others who really need help.

I was with my friend and we were about to cross the street when we saw an old lady who can’t seem to cross so we helped her cross and accompanied her to the public transpo. While on the transpo we asked her why she was alone. Then she cried. Not caring about all the people staring at her. She told us that all of her sons and daughters are too busy with work to accompany her and her grandchildren are ashamed to be seen with her. She thanked us over and over again for what we did for her. I will never forget that day. I hope I can inspire other people to do the same. Just a simple kindness to anyone who needs help is a lot for them. You never know who’s lives you can change and if you yourself might change because of one random act of kindness.
No need to expect for something in return. My mom always taught me…”Help those people who cannot repay you because God will be the one who will reward you in return.”
