Daily Question, February 23

As I go about my daily life, what small kindnesses can I offer to others?

  • jamiestarr

    Smile. Never underestimate the power of a smile.

  • Hot Sauce

    Always be willing to say hello, give a smile, and be kind to everyone I meet. Also, sit next to people who are alone and need a friend.

    As I go about my daily life, what small kindnesses can I offer to others?

    As I have observed it....there is no such thing as "small kindness". It is not even the business of the giver of a kind act to measure it or be concerned of its ....big / small / powerful / appropriate / etc etc. Those are all intellectual measurements therefore very susceptible to ego..

    What make this question very interesting is the fact that when any act of kindness manifests, to grows in direct relation to the potential around it. It mutates, changes colours, frequencies and flavours. It can, and does, often join with other kindnesses. All proof that kindness belongs to Divine Nature-Human Nature.

    sending good thoughts to others, smile, give attention

  • Antoinette

    I can offerblessings from my heart to all sentient beings. A warm smile full of love and an open heart is my best offering.

  • Elaine

    It’s usually about small kindnesses isn’t it? Warm gestures, thoughtful words, a listening heart. May I be so oriented this day.

  • Steve

    No rocket science in this question. I can look them in the eye and give them my attention. Saying thank you. Being pro-active in seeing the needs of my students and colleagues. Being positive in my feedback. Treating others as I would like to be treated.

  • Nancy

    I offer what works for me from others – open, friendly and happy. Whenever I am out doing anything and I come across happy friendly people it makes my day. And, that is the day I had on my birthday this year. I was out doing ordinary errands and everywhere I went, I was greeted by happy friendly people – what a beautiful birthday gift these people were. It was the best birthday.

  • Sharon

    People tell me there is something about my smile. If they are telling me what they appreciate about me, they always include my smile. I have no idea what is so special about that, but I know that, with everyone I encounter, I at some point I give them a heart-felt smile. And I trust that it makes a difference to them.

  • Doreen Nixon

    I can offer a silent blessing to the person and a smile. ❤????????

  • Kevin

    By truly being present, physically and emotionally to people I meet throughout the day. However brief and mundane an interaction with another human being may appear, it’s an encounter and opportunity to learn, however short the time may be, a bit about their world too, and not just an exchange that is orchestrated to meet my needs only.

  • Malag

    Respect and acceptance, moving beyond the transactional.

  • Ose

    To silently offer a rose from my heart to everyone I encounter as a prayer and a thank you for their being here with me, while meeting someone, talking to someone or thinking about someone.
