Day #71: Random Acts of Kindness (100 day gratitude challenge)

Day #71: Random Acts of Kindness 
(100 day gratitude challenge)

Have you noticed how some people radiate warmth and happiness? What makes them like that? Would you like to be like that?

If you notice closely you will notice that they feel positively towards most people they meet. They believe that they can make the world a better place. And they do this through kind actions some of which are preplanned and some of which are random acts. They notice where they can help and they do it.

Let me share a few examples of what they do.
1. While passing a toll gate, along with the toll hand out a biscuit packet or some chocolates. The toll keepers have long hours and they get tired over a period of time with the monotony of their job. This small act can make their day.
2. Feed a stranded animal on the road. The act of looking for them and alleviating their hunger can make you feel warm and radiant.
3. Hand out usable clothes or bedsheets or food to homeless people you pass on the road. Their smile can light up your life.
4. Educate a child – not your own.
5. If you notice someone down and depressed a kind word or even a kind look can perk them up just enough to go on till things get better.
6. Share your seat in a public place when someone else looks like they need it more than you.
7. Believe that whatever you own came from someone or somewhere and will pass on to someone or somewhere else eventually. So let it go when, where and to whom you can choose... The universe will bless you mutlifold when you need it most.
8. Give a genuine compliment to someone today. Watch them light up with delight. Make this a habit and you will light up all day.
9. When you hear someone is in trouble, send them a blessing from the bottom of your heart. It can be a silent one. But feel the blessing.
10. When was the last time you delighted your parents r spouse? If it is over a month ago, time to do it today.

You get the drift, don't you? Now you can make your own list and practice them regularly. Your life will be bright, warm, filled with happiness and laughter. Try it!


I’m grateful for these random acts of kindness because it reveals that there is higher good in that person and he or she is aligned with their creator and higher purpose.

Day #27: Our world (100 days gratitude challenge)

Day #27: Our world 100 days of gratitude This morning at 5 am when I took Alfie for a walk I noticed the road was filled with the remnants of yesterday's festivities. Paper, cardboard, plastic covers. gunpowder, rocket launchers, bottles, buckets, mugs, and tons of muck. I feel sorry for the cleaning staff who have to labour to clear this. Rains may help if it comes pouring now. We humans have a unique relationship with our planet. We believe that whatever we do our planet will correct itself and come back to how we found it. We don't know or care who is cleaning up behind us. Fortunately for us, our planet has taken care of itself so far. It has taken all the abuse we threw at it and corrected itself. I wonder how long this party can continue before it gives up. Do you notice how our planet is learning to adapt herself to our ways? She is over 4.5 billion years old. She managed to see her way through dinosaurs for à few million years. Primitive mankind is about 200,000 y...

Day 74: Smile 100 Day Gratitude Challenge

Day 74: Smile 100 Day Gratitude Challenge Today I was going with my friend to the city. At the toll he handed out a biscuit packet to the toll collector after swiping his toll card.  The toll collector first wondered  what was being handed to him and then when he realised what it was, his face broke into a big smile. It absolutely lit up his face and all of us in the car smiled in return.  It struck me then that a smile will almost always elicit a return smile. It’s the simplest and easiest thing to give anyone and you will get it back in return multifold. It improves the mood of the giver and the receiver. I’m grateful for the smile. It is the simplest and warmest gift we can gift anyone. It is easy to do and there is no limit to how much we can give. Benefits of Smiling ·         Smiling is contagious Even in bad situations, if you smile, others are likely to mimic the expression. ·         Smiling lowers stress ...

Day #53: Ability to stand up after every fall (100 Day Gratitude Challenge)

Day #53:     Ability to stand up after every fall (100 Day Gratitude Challenge) Have you seen a baby learn to walk? The baby makes countless attempts to stand before actually standing isn’t it? The baby first learns to roll over and after many weeks becomes good at it. Then she would attempt to sit up and will fall in the attempt a thousand times before actually being able to sit up. Finally, the baby will hold on to something and pull herself up to be able to stand on her feet. She will wobble back and forth and plonk down and then promptly try once again. This attempt again will be repeated a hundred times before she finally learns to stand. Only after this does she keep one foot in front of the other and take the first few tentative steps. The art of walking cannot be mastered in just one stroke. We all know it. But when we become adults we suddenly start believing that whatever I take up I must do well and I shall do it well the very first attempt...
