Have you ever stopped to think about what random acts of kindness really do? I mean,sure, they make you feel pretty good about yourself and make somebody else feel pretty good, too, but have you ever considered their impact on an energetic level? It might surprise you to learn that the small gesture you made toward someone this morning actually had a far-reaching, powerful, lasting effect on the planet. How, you say? Well, here are three big ways you just changed the world:
1) Perception of Life
When you participate in a random act of kindness, what you are doing, in essence, is giving and receiving love... Unconditional love, no strings attached, no feeling of obligation. When you are giving, you acknowledge the goodness in your life and the spiritual presence that is always at work, encouraging you to continue to connect with others, to give love and compassion without need of reward or recognition. Spending time looking for ways to express unconditional love towards other human beings, and imagining how creating that connection with other souls will make you and them feel, will leave no room for depression in your life.
When we do something on behalf of another, we can think of ourselves as being half of it. That means we do not sacrifice or hurt ourselves to help another. It means we become part of the help and receive help in the process. An elevation takes place in your vibration and in your spirit when you think of how you are able to contribute to another person's well-being. The focus is taken off of you and any challenges you may be having and is placed on that which you can do on behalf of another dear soul. As you act on those thoughts with the purest of intentions, life becomes a new and hopeful experience to embrace in faith and joy. Giving to others is never about doing without. It is about making greater room within to receive. You may not have much to give at this time in your life, but what makes the act of giving so special is showing that you do the best you can with what you have... maybe it's just a smile or opening the door for someone. A quality life does not depend on how much you have. It depends on how much you have given of your heart.
2) Universal Shift
Random acts of kindness are feedback loops of positive energy creation. Helping others not only raises your vibration, but also, the vibrations of those you help and that of the entire human collective. Creating something unexpected and wonderful in someone else's life, no matter how small, sets into motion a dramatic shift in a positive direction that can profoundly change lives. You can never really know how deep of an impact you've made in someone's life...what you consider a little bit of kindness may just turn a person's life completely around and give them hope for the future. The universe responds to these shifts by bringing more and more abundance to you, them, and everyone on the planet. Changing another's reality through your actions has a ripple effect which changes the world.
3) Humanity's Evolution
Performing random acts of kindness makes you an example of what is possible. You become an inspiration, opening the awareness of others to their own potential. Most of us want our lives to inspire love in others. So for instance, when our children witness us doing good in the world, they are taught gratitude, compassion, love, and unity. Generations of individuals can learn from this that happiness is a choice, but you have to be open to it and take action to help spread it around. The world is evolving in such a way that requires each of us to take responsibility to create and grow positive energy any way we can. We are transforming the old ways into newer, lighter, more loving ways of being and living. The most important thing is to send your love out into the world no matter what form it takes.
A simple random act of kindness could very easily be life-giving to both the giver and receiver. When one is coming from a place of generosity, of giving and kindness that is pure and without any expectation or reward in return, what is occurring is the manifestation of a deeper reality, a deeper meaning and knowing that you are not so alone, that you are united and connected to more than you may have ever realized...
