Inspiring Acts of Random Kindness

Lately when I pick up the newspaper to update myself about current events, the majority of them tend to trigger a negative mental spiral and I wonder what is happening to our world.

These are not just random acts, but go a long way in helping you develop a habit of sharing your kindness that has a lot of nurturing as well as healing power. Acts of Kindness Are Ageless Mr. Jacobs, an 80 odd year old man, is a volunteer at a local community college study room, where he helps out students with business math. He has worked in the banking industry for forty years, which helps him tutor students well. The college doesn’t pay him; he simply does it on his own. He says this keeps him younger and sharper.
