Everyone has heard of people doing random acts of kindness, and paying kind acts forward without expecting anything in return for themselves. The payout or payoff as many self help people would say is that they get a good feeling and make their own lives happier just by doing kind acts for others. If you are kind to yourself, kind to others, and kind and gentle to the earth, as Michael J. Chase has said in speaking engagements, your life will be better. Also your relationships are sweeter and your health is much improved.

One example of the transforming power of kindness is the story of Michael J. Chase. He hadn’t always lived in a kind or friendly environment; he’ll tell you it was rough and troublesome, but after hard times and personal reflection, he came upon a more positive alternative. It was life changing for him and later, thanks to his book, others have had the chance to learn about his viewpoint for kindness and its effects on the world around you.

He’ll be the first to tell you that kindness is about much more than just being ‘nice’. Paying for the coffee for the car behind you at the drive-thru is being kind; and taking brownies in for your coworkers is kind. As he asks in “Am I Being Kind” it’s far more than just being nice, and once you discover these things deep inside yourself, you’ll truly understand its full potential for enhancing your own life.

Even stopping to let someone out in front of you on the road is especially kind. Doing these things for others costs you very little, but they give a large payout for everyone. Someone else may do something similar to others, and it goes on and on. Giving someone a smile or even a wave shows them that you are happy. It can make them happy to. Sharing kindness makes everyone happier. A happier world is also a better place for all. Positive thinking and positive acts have so much more power to help everyone. Share some kindness and see how it makes you feel.

Even if you’re depressed and feel like you have nothing to give to others, you should realize that this is not true. The next time you have that negative attitude, turn it around by doing something kind for someone else. Share positive feelings, and in turn you will feel more positive about yourself and your life, and so will those around you. Everyone benefits when people are kind.
