Hello, awesome life lovers,
Yesterday’s post got me thinking. Especially one of the goals - Do a random act of service for 30 days straight & record it to stay conscious of it. This goal is really important for me and for humanity in general. We get so busy that we forget we are carrying a permanent frown on our face which can end up hurting the person who is trying to pass a smile at us. How do I know this?
I have been that person who has been trying to pass a smile at everyone walking around me & receiving a cold stare / rapid facial turns. Who am I now? The person with a permanent frown when I am walking.
I don’t want to blame the world for turning me into a cold bitch rather I will say that I want to get better at recognizing humans around me and cutting everyone (most people) a slack. But how does one do this? How can I be more consciously kind to the world around me? After all, the vibe I get most often is that everyone wants to NOT smile at people walking past them. What else can I do?
Well, what else can I not do? Everything.
I have been stuck in this thought but kindness does not come from one particular action and we are all kind-a in our heads all the time so let people be. I love to think when I am walking and it is crucial to my process of life. So maybe people have that process too. But there is so much more we can do by finding one tiny thing to help someone each day. I am starting on this mission & will document it every day. Drop here to read what I did each day. Let’s do this, and let’s hope that more people will stop to recognize the life around them.
Daily Random Act Of Service
6/5/2023 - Opened door for someone at my building
6/6/2023 - Sat in a different room than the one I wanted to sit in because someone who was sitting there seemed to not like being disturbed and the other rooms were all empty
6/7/2023 - Been open-minded to what my husband needed rather than being fixated on what I was thinking.
6/8/2023 - Left a few uplifting comments on new writers’ posts
6/9/2023 - Gave tip for the coffee & asked the server on how he was doing today ( really meant it)
This an interesting thought. One thing I try to do is to always be pleasant to strangers unless they give me a clear reason not to be.
If everyone did this, what a better world it would be!!
