Sometimes, we can overlook and even underestimate the power of just being kind. One of the best and easiest ways to see the Law of Attraction working for you is to start spreading positive vibes or share the notion of positivity in any situation. And I’m not just talking about sharing a motivational quote on social media or throwing up a peace sign. :-) I’m talking about working to make positivity a part of who you are… something that’s completely etched in your character. Learning how to stay positive can be tough sometimes, especially when life gets hectic. But, I’ve found that both sharing and receiving positivity helps keep me on track.
Can you remember the last time someone said something nice to you or made a kind gesture towards you? I can. Want to know why? Well, it’s those small or random acts of kindness that really stick with me, as they have the power to completely turn your day around.
“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.”
— Mother Teresa
A simple smile or thank you can really go a long way, especially when it’s directed towards someone you don’t even know. And when you practice gratitude by spreading kindness, it becomes contagious! When you start to become more in tune with having positivity as your mantra, you just can’t help but spread the love.
You see, being kind not only has the power to brighten someone else’s day, but when it comes from the goodness of your heart, it will make you feel good as well, especially when you don’t expect anything in return. Even the smallest gestures can be the most meaningful.
