Act kind randomly, see what happens.

Well it has been a long time hasn't it. My life is moving, and I'm trying to keep the pace, attempting to lengthen my stride, and run faster in the right direction daily.

Something came back to me when I saw this video: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local-beat/Mystery-Couple-Pay-It-Forward-79179347.html?yhp=1

Check out the video. Does it seem like something strange, something that you've never done? This is an example of what I like to call a Random Act of Kindness (RAK). Doing something for someone else is an idea and action we always forget. Have you ever held a door for someone? Let a car go ahead of you? Let someone else go through the check out before you? Paid a complete stranger's bill?

Now I'm sure you've done one of those things, but why is it something that we only to once a day, once a week or once in a while when we just feel like it? RAKs should be what each of us strive to do. The couple in this situation paid the bill and just said "Tell them Merry Christmas." From this simple gesture people helped each other for five straight hours, paying for stranger's food. This is how life is meant to be lived "considering others better then yourself."

We are in the holiday season right now and presents are awesome. But the ipod will eventually break, the books will get dusty and the clothes will get torn up and thrown out. But doing something for someone else, as simple as paying their bill or just asking how their day was can go a long way. It isn't just that person who is effected by your kindness either, they will then go and be kind to someone else, and it continues to spread.

What if we all focused on being kind in random situations, how far would it spread?
Don't let this question go unanswered; go and do.
