Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Start with small kindnesses... smile and give a friendly greeting to those who do not expect it... The bill collector... the person at the toll booth... the stranger you pass on the street... the cashier at the store or the bank....
2. Drop those smiles into the pool of human existence and watch the ripples spread... some of them will spread back to you.
3. Look for ways to commit small kind acts... letting someone in line ahead of you... opening a door for someone... waving someone ahead of you while driving... each of these small kindnesses creates a climate of kindness around you... and attracts kindness to you
4. Look for even larger kindnesses to commit... helping someone with their packages... taking their grocery cart back to the store for them... offering baby sitting to a friend for the evening... or to cook a meal for a friend and her husband... you know your friends... think of some unexpected random act of kindness....
5. Make random acts of kindness part of your everyday routine and soon you will find yourself on the receiving end... not just the giving end... Enjoy the atmosphere of kindness that surrounds you in your life.... Think of the change we can make if enough of us commit kindness on a daily basis....
