Many people like to commit random acts of kindness, to help others with no expectation of a reciprocal action. These people believe that their “”reward”" is the feeling that comes with knowing they have done something nice for another person. It enriches their own lives and makes them better people despite the fact that no one has given them anything material in return. Inspirational speaker Michael J. Chase believes that living in a kind manner, treating oneself and other people and the Earth in a positive way, will improve one’s health, relationships, and overall life.

Chase is a unique person. He did not experience much kindness in his early life; rather, he endured hard times that caused him to do much soul searching. Eventually, he had a startling and profound realization that completely turned his life around. Rather than keep this new knowledge for himself along, he decided to share it with others and teach them what he had learned. The main way he did this was to write a book about the philosophy of kindness, which explains how spreading good feelings helps everyone in the world.

He’ll be the first to tell you that kindness is about much more than just being ‘nice’. Paying for the coffee for the car behind you at the drive-thru is being kind; and taking brownies in for your coworkers is kind. As he asks in “Am I Being Kind” it’s far more than just being nice, and once you discover these things deep inside yourself, you’ll truly understand its full potential for enhancing your own life.

It’s so easy to be kind if you just think about it as you go about your day. It won’t take anything from your wallet, but it certainly pays in at least a moment or tow of happiness for everyone involved. When you do something kind, hopefully it encourages that person to do the same; and it continues from one person to the next and the next and the next. The result? A better outlook, a renewed sense of the good in others, a desire to be kind and experience the positive feelings for you and others. Don’t just read about it here though, try it for yourself and see how your attitude and mood changes; it’s hard to be negative or depressed after a simple act of kindness.

If you are struggling in your own daily life and your personal life is unhappy you should start your own journey to bettering yourself and your life. Doing so will make you want to share this with others through acts of kindness. Others will want this for themselves too. Everyone wins!
