Too often, we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest accomplishment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.’

Kindness is something that you can show to others by your little actions. Kindness is not meant to do something at larger scale, but you can start it from smaller one and these small initiatives will lead you to the broader vision of life. Doing small things doesn’t mean that you have small thinking, it shows your positive attitude towards society that how caring you are for those things which other people are unable to do. Being kind is a greatest blessing and we should be thankful to ALLAH for this.

As human beings on this beautiful earth, many would say that it’s our duty to take care of our planet. It is our responsibility to protect those that do not have a voice; our responsibility to help those in need; our responsibility to be the best individuals we can be…and on and on…by doing all this we celebrate the angels of kindness, these are the people who contribute in our lives without any kind of greediness.

It’s not results that soothe our souls; it’s actions. In a difficult world, kindness has amazing power.

Everyone is struggling to survive in this cruel world. Each moment of our lives needs kindness, somewhere. Our little act of kindness can make someone smile, can encourage someone to do more, can make someone to forget the hard times for a while. So, we can make a difference just by doing some random acts of kindness for others with all our possible efforts. So, focus on the act of giving rather than the results.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” ~Plato

- I always want to do something for animals as these are the creatures which do not have voice to express their feelings, emotions and pain. In our front yard, there are some stray cats, so I always tried to feed them when I saw. It is not something so big, but it is so soothing.

- I also helped a girl who was carrying her bag from university gate to her hostel which was far away from the gate and her bag was heavy. So, I offered her a helping hand and when she reached to her hostel she was so thankful to me because she was already tired.

- I also helped my university fellows in the noble cause of plantation by donating money as they were in urgent need of funds for their next plantation drive.

- Helped my friend as she has to submit some documents in university and she was unable to do formatting due to some reasons. So, I helped her to ease her work.

- I also started to feed birds by placing food and water pots on my roof wall and I also tried to do it when I’m outdoor by refilling the water pots where I saw.

All of us have ability to change the world. Although these are some random and little things which I performed but, these are the things that can make difference. So, always try to be a helping hand for others as our society needs more positive attitudes. Live a giving life, choose simple and make people smile.
