An act of kindness is a message from one heart to another, an act of love, an unspoken “I care” statement. Where you just want to spread smiles on faces, where you earn millions of hearts, whereby with your single act you get thousands of blessings. Moreover, these things are something that is understood by everyone, regardless of culture, race, or religion.
Intention could be suggested as an appropriate gauge for the value of kind acts. You should have a good intention for your acts.
Here we list 10 little acts of kindness that will brighten Someone’s Day:
1. Take a minute to direct someone who is lost, even though you’re rushing.
2. Each time you get a new item of clothing, give away something old.
3. Say “please” and “thank you”—and really mean it.
4. Encourage someone who seems despondent.
5. Listen with all your senses.
6. Ask someone “How are you really doing?”—and then really listen to her response.
7. Simply say, “I’m sorry” when you are wrong.
8. Forgive someone a debt–and never bring it up again.
9. When you are on a crowded train or bus, offer your seat to an elderly, disabled, or pregnant person.
10. Say, “I love you” to someone you love.
The significance of an act of kindness is subjective rather than objective- it might mean nothing to one person while profoundly affecting another. The person never expects anything in return because for him the happiness, smiles, and joy of other people are incalculable.
