It’s only fitting in the month of love that we show a little extra, especially in today’s world. We live in a busy world, and it’s so easy to go on about our day and forget those around us. I love teaching the boys early on that it’s not always about material things and that random acts of kindness go further. You truly never know what someone is going through so why not make them smile by giving a compliment or paying it forward.
I’m a firm believer that to get joy; you have to give it. So for national kindness day, I’m challenging myself and you to complete some of the action below. At the end of the day, what does it hurt to have made someone smile? A little always goes a long way!
We often think that serving others is an inconvenience, but trust me when I say, when we spread joy, and serve those around us, we are the ones that end up being more fulfilled.
