Every time you act kindly, the world has more kindness.
Every time you are compassionate, the world has more compassion.
Every time you smile to someone, the world is a more cheerful place.
Every time you help transform someone’s worry into serenity, the world is a more serene place.
Every time you calm someone who is angry, the world is a more pleasant place.
Every time you give money to charity, the world is a more charitable place.
Every time you encourage someone to do something for others, you are creating a partner to make a better world.

Some people spend way too much time complaining about the awful state the world is in. There is too much aggression and violence. There is too little kindness and compassion. There is too much anger and depression and too little serenity and joy.

If someone complains and complains, the world is still full of whatever it is the person is complaining about and now more complaining has been added. Conversely, if someone spreads compassion and kindness, the world improves. The ripple effect can spread these positive qualities. A little positive action is more beneficial than a mountain full of complaints.

Every time you visit someone who is ill, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you comfort a mourner, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you judge someone favorably, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you lend one of your possessions to someone, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.
Every time you help a stranger find his way, you are making the world a kinder place to live in.

What comes out from all of this is that there is no such thing as an insignificant kind act. Because every time you do an act of kindness you are elevating the world we live in.
