Since I have started the Random Acts Challenge, I have realized several things:
1) That doing random and kind things for people is really how I live, and is so automatic that I forget to post about it on my blog. I'm just being honest here. Please don't think I'm bragging. Like everyone else, I am striving each day to learn and grow. I am far from perfect!
2) It feels weird to write down and post on my blog kind things that I do for others.
3) The reason it feels weird to post the kind things I do is that I am not doing them because I created this challenge page on my blog.
4) It occurred to me that the recipients of kind gestures from me may begin to suspect that I am not genuine, and am simply acting for the purposes of my being able to write about my "good deed" for the day.
5) I have lived my life by the principle that it is better to let others talk about your good qualities than for you to praise yourself. It feels too much like bragging when I am writing down my "random acts".
6) My goal with this project was to inspire others by letting them see good in the world.
7) I can just as easily inspire people to spread kindness and compassion by posting the positive actions of others!
So, if anyone out there has a story about kindness or compassion that inspires you, please send it to me! Email me: [email protected]
Or just post it in the comments section below. Regardless, I will be looking for and sharing with all of you the inspirational stories I come across in the coming weeks.
Thanks for reading!
