Do A Little Every Day

First off, I know I've been making a post everyday, but I'm sure it will die down soon....maybe. I think I'm just a little excited to have a blog, and there has been so much on my mind lately that I want to tell y'all. Lucky you :)

Secondly, I have had a feeling of something missing in my life and I haven't been able to figure out just what that is. I still don't know what it is, but service has been on my mind a lot so I've decided to do more service. At least one act of service daily, to be exact. I read a quote that said:

"If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction."
-Michael Kornfeld

I know that I can't completely change the world, but I do know that I can try and do my part to make the world a happier place one act of kindness at a time. We each have our own challenges in life and things that we have to deal with every day that may bring us down. We may look at a person and think, "wow, I wish I had their life, they don't have to go through the things I do." But in reality, they are dealing with something too, they just don't show it like other people do. Knowing that each person has trials makes me want to help them in some way. I know when I am having a rough day, it is the little things that help to cheer me up. For instance, when someone smiles at me or opens the door for me my day is instantly made a little better. Why? Because that person took the time to notice me  and go out of their way to show that they care. Is that not awesome?

So this is kind of a "pay it forward" type thing. I hope that people will see and feel the love that others have for them and be able to pass that on to other people. It would be really awesome if you joined me. Yes YOU. You don't have to, but why not? Why not take that step forward to make the world a better place?
