A random act of kindness can lead to a chain reaction of loveIt was a simple and thoughtful act of kindness that jolted me out of my Monday blues. As I was walking to work, a woman I didn’t even know offered me a warm smile, a hug and a “have a great day”. Although I was a bit taken aback, I reciprocated her kindness and before I knew it, I was standing in front of my office with a broad smile on my face.Acts of kindness create a positive feedback loopThe effects of this random act of kindness didn’t end with the initial act. As the day progressed, my mind continually drifted back to the kindness shown to me earlier that morning. It wasn’t long before I found myself showing acts of kindness to others – a smile, a handshake, a “good morning”.Kindness has the ability to transform livesThe simple act of kindness snowballed into something more. It wasn’t long before my colleagues and I started noticing the positive changes within ourselves. The office atmosphere became more upbeat and people were generally happier. It was as if the initial act of kindness had created a domino effect within the team.Random acts of kindness can lead to unexpected consequencesUnbeknownst to me, the woman who had greeted me that morning was part of a secret society dedicated to promoting random acts of kindness. Her simple greeting was part of a larger conspiracy to make the world a better place.
