The world can never have enough generous people doing good things for others. One good person doing a simple act of kindness just once in a day can really make an impact for the humankind.
Imagine if every single person on the face of the earth exercise one good deed every day… The world would be a very peaceful and lovely place, wouldn’t you agree? Just think, there would be a society that’s ready to offer a helping hand for those in need… where people have a very open and healthy consideration for those around them. Imagine the ripple effect of one person doing one act of kindness to help others… If everybody else is doing this, the world will be free from hostility, judgement, or even hate.
As some believe that being kind is a choice, and that it is easier said than done… Well, it is true that as a human-being, we all have a right to be selfish on our own behalf. Because, each of us are responsible for our own lives. But, that does not mean that we don’t have the capacity to help others in the process of us helping ourselves.
Just take a look at some of these quotes about being kind and helping others… Because sometimes, we all need a nudge to do a good thing.
“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”
Audrey Hepburn
“By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.”
Aung San Suu Kyi
“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”
Princess Diana
“You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.”
Winston Churchill
“If you’re not making someone else’s life better, then you’re wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better.”
Will Smith
Sometimes all it takes for us to do a good deed and be kind to one another, is realisation and consideration. First, we have to realise that we are more than capable to take care of ourselves while also helping others. We also have to realise that humans are social creatures and we all have a sense of responsibility to play a role in the society. That what we have been blessed with in life, is part of our contributions to give back to the society.
Lastly, we need to learn to be considerate… We need to consider that we need help in our lives. Thus, it’s only natural that we need to help others, in order to attract the same karma into our lives. So, go out there, do good things and be helpful for others!
