Day 30 Do Something for Someone Else

Day 30

Selfless acts such as volunteering or a random act of kindness are truly the best thing that you can do for others and for yourself. It feels wonderful to give and even better when you know that you are really helping someone else in their time of need. People are in need of assistance at all times of the year and things that seem small to you are actually big to others. I recently read a story about a group of people who were going into chain stores during the holiday season and paying off the layaway account of strangers who were struggling to pay. This is the most unbelievable gift and the impact it had on the recipeints changed their lives. Some of the people stated that they would not have been able to give their family gifts in time for Christmas had someone not stepped in and done this amazing thing for them. Even paying toll for the car behind you can make that persons day. Giving doesn't always have to be monetary of course. Carrying groceries, holding the door for others (nope, not everyone does this) or paying a compliment to a stranger, are all things that can lift others around you and yourself. Look out for others and the rewards for everyone will be endless.
