"The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention." - Unknown A number of years ago it became popular to talk about and practice "random acts of kindness". That is still an excellent focus of attention. It is especially true if you are someone who is caught up in your own world so much that you seldom see the opportunities that exist around you for lending just a little touch of kindness. Your actions can be so simple; give the cashier eye-contact and genuinely say thank you, hold the door open for the elderly person with a cane, carry something for someone whose hands are full or thank the people you live with for doing their share of the
mechanics of living. Think back to a random act of kindness someone did for you and how good it felt. If you are someone who prides yourself on being self-sufficient, the next time someone offers you a random act of kindness, receive it. You will be giving both of you a gift. Notice all the times you have opportunities to bestow a kind act on someone and listen to the reasons you don't do it. Some of the most common excuses are being too busy, not wanting to interfere or be intrusive, or not knowing what to say or do. There are no right or wrong ways to be kind. Dare to push your limits a bit and take the first step. Today practice a random act of kindness and tell no one about it. "Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death." - Eleanor Roosevelt Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow. Truly Caring for Your Success! Dr. Robert Anthony
