Kindness: The Little Thing that Matters Most. Jaime Thurston
Sometimes what people need is assistance rather than things. Spread some kindness by donating a skill.
Donating in this way serves the dual purpose of fulfilling a practical need and making someone feel supported. Josh Coombes is a hairdresser who gives free haircuts to homeless people and founded a movement called ‘Do Something For Nothing’. He says, ‘Everyone has the power to do something for nothing. If everyone, in every city, did one thing for nothing, we could change the world.’
+ Cut someone’s hair
+ Bake a cake
+ Mow a lawn
+ Help fill in a form
+ Mend someone’s clothes
+ Do someone’s taxes
+ Share your skill – teach someone what you know so they can pass on the kindness.
There’s no such thing as a small act of kindness – even the tiniest gesture has a ripple effect.
We don’t tend to think of smiling as giving something to someone, but it is probably the most simple yet powerful thing we can do to spread kindness and happiness around the world. Not only does it lift another’s mood – it’s contagious!
