Welcome  April

“Inspire kindness, and pay it forward.”

Every day, we are presented with moments to consider kindness to lighten up someone’s day. It could be complimenting someone’s hard work for the day, making coffee for your seatmate at work or even smiling and greeting everyone you meet along the way. We often think that these small acts of kindness wouldn’t make so much of a difference but it does— in fact, this builds up and creates a huge influence on someone’s day!
 
The sense of sharing and belongingness in a community is what shows through when you practice paying forward. During these challenging times, kindness is something that we can all practice every day. We should do things that would also inspire other people to create a ripple of kindness— and for no other reason than to let someone feel appreciated.
 
Paying it forward is when someone does something for you, instead of paying that person directly, you pass it to another. When you are in trouble, and someone says a few words of comfort, it makes you feel nice, doesn’t it? It always uplifts your mood and makes you at ease. If you felt good about yourself or were inspired to do something, imagine how great another person would feel if you did the same for them?

Why is paying forward important?

It doesn’t cost much to make a small impact on someone’s day. Doing something well is selfless and will remind others that this world is also full of selflessness, kindness and support. It also encourages people to be compassionate to others. Take part in the day— it will make you feel good, knowing you have helped make someone else’s day just a bit brighter!

“Together, we can change the world, one good deed at a time.”
