WEEKLY CHALLENGE #1: Anonymous Acts of Kindness :)

"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.”
--Dale Carnegie

Hi lovelies!

Here is this week's challenge: ANONYMOUS ACTS OF KINDNESS!

The purpose of this challenge is to help others, but the catch is that they cannot know that you did helped them. Many times, I see people help others and then expect a thank you or some type of praise...We need to learn how to do nice things for others without getting any recognition. You should be doing the good deed because you want to help a person out, and get that good and tingly feeling inside :)

GOAL: 3 acts each day!! :)

So...DO NOT wait to be thanked or recognized, just HELP OTHERS!

Some examples may include (but are not limited to...)

  • Leaving your change from a purchase at the check out and ask that the cashier credits that to the person behind you...then you leave...
  • What can you do with five bucks to make someone's day? Anything that comes to mind, (legal of course) do it! :)
  • Express kindness to those who are healing. Go to the hospital and visit sick children. Bring them stuffed animals (they won't know who you are) :)
  • Make a SMILE card. Just take some construction paper and stickers and create some at home. Put a motivational quote on them and mention that you just wanted the person to smile. Hand it out to people that you don't know as you walk down the street. :)

These are just some ideas, stretch your imagination as far as it will go. Your goal is to make the person that you help SMILE! :D

Don't forget to update everyone on your progress in the comments box below!

Peace and blessings,

so...today I created some SMILE cards with powerpoint with a message that says...Then I passed them out to people in the street.

"Hi, you don't know me, but as I was walking, I noticed you had a frown on your face...so this is for you!"

SMILE!!!... pass it on and brighten up someone else's day... :)
