On those days when your motivation is low and your spirit is lacking, there is a way to make the day worth that struggle to get out of bed: you could make someone’s day better. A simple act of kindness that will bring a smile to someone’s lips is reason enough for you to be where you are on that day. You have done something beautiful.

The act doesn’t have to be ambitious or costly; you could simply compliment someone on their outfit or hair. Even if they don’t accept your compliment, you know that they are smiling on the inside. They will carry that smile with them and will pass on the light and joy you’ve given them.

This act can be for a loved one, friend, colleague or stranger: it doesn’t matter. You are reading this now and you have made my day better knowing that the message is moving outwards. You are creating a ripple of goodness. Thank you for making me smile.
