Make a special effort for a someone else

Today is ‘a special rewards day’ for others. I am not talking about high value items, more small acts of kindness that comes straight from the heart. We live in a very self-obsessed world and  making tiny gestures that we really care about the other person, can make a big difference. This could be your spouse, children, parents, work colleagues or even strangers. With family and friends you can show your appreciation with a small gift, card, message or just kind words and a hug. It sounds so obvious, but we often neglect the ones that are nearest and dearest. Not anymore! Spreading happiness and being kind to others is a very undervalued social skill in today’s society. But if everybody did their bit, the world would be a far kinder place and you also get back from more than one person! It all starts with you and a little reminder. You can of course also make a donation to charity. As St. Francis of Assisi once said  “For it is in giving that we receive.” It is a general consensus that you should aim to give about 5% of your income to charity. Below are a few inspiring quotes  “The more one gives, the more one has to give.”Anne Morrow Lindbergh “No one has ever become poor by giving.” Anne Frank “Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have”  Jim Rohn
