Understanding Why We Do Good/Show Kindness

Let us not do good or be kind to other people because it makes us feel good, but because it is the right thing to do and needs to be done.

As humans, natutally, we want so much to be appreciated for our good works or to receive praises or recognition from others.

As we celebrate Christmas, do an act of good to somebody, show kindness to a stranger but when you do, don't expect anything else in return. And just watch how your life will turn around in the coming year of 2020.

Remember, the good or the act of kindness that is remembered throughout generations are the ones we do out of sacrifice not out of convenience.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world??? Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...

Make Kindness A Contagious Act

Mrs. Anderson was driving at top speed in the wee hours of the night. She had been told her husband had suffered a mild stroke but was in a stable condition now in a hospital in the centre of town. Suddenly, one of her tyres burst out and she stopped to check for herself but she couldn't find anyone to help her do that. So she stood there by her car waiting for a good samaritan to show up and help her out. That's when Joey Monti showed up. He asked if Miss Anderson needed help with her car and she said yes. He helped fixed another tyre into the old lady's car. Thank you very much young man, I'm Sylvia Anderson. Here's a little token for you for your kindness towards me young man. Joey rejected the puffy envelope from Mrs. Anderson after she had told him where she was going and why. Spread the kindness on another person in my name. Make it contagious. That's all Joey said. She drove a few metres to a restaurant nearby which was still open and sat down. A...
