'The 21 day kindness challenge' movement has started across the world..!! More than 4000 people across 70+ countries have participated in this global movement. www.kindspring.org is online community that inspire people to do little acts of kindness and that make this world better place to live and also lead you to the inner transformation! I have participated and volunteer in their activities time by time and it has been amazing experience every time.
So, today is a first day of 21 day kindness challenge and of course I am all excited to do new things as a part of my nature and don't want to miss first day.. :). I will try to share each day, what I did as my kindness challenge every day.
1st day (11/9):
It's already evening, it's my first day of 21 day challenge and I didn't do any kindness activity, though it was on my mind since the beginning. Suddenly I realized it and I went out of my office, having kindness idea in my mind that I will treat someone stranger with my favorite choco-pie. I was going to store to buy it and I saw on road some road workers still building the road at late evening. Their kids were playing near by. And I thought why not to treat these kids too!! So, got packets of biscuits and choco-pie. Went to the road site and offered kids biscuits. I enjoyed doing it, and that reflected on stranger who was crossing the road, I smiled at him while he was finding a trouble to cross my vehicle and I did let him go. He smiled back!! :) While coming back, saw security guard at the corner of our complex and offered him choco-pie, another guy who was working at someone's office in same building and to my favorite colleague and to my 60+ year old student uncle. They all smiled for this unexpected little gift and do I need to say that that made me smile too!! :)
2nd day (12/9):
I became listening ear to my friend who was going through rough phase of life. I made her think that she is not alone and she is the best.
3rd day (13/9):
My family needed my attention today and I helped to make atmosphere at home more light and live. Though i was not feeling happy in morning but i could manage to forget about my feelings and give others happiness. happy to see smiles at their face though my father was feeling down because of his health.
4th day (14/9):
21 year old married girl who is working at our home can not read and write. I was insisting her to start learning since she started work at my home. She is so good and sincere. I admire her work and her sweet nature. But whenever i see her, I always feel bad that she left her study and she cant write and read even a simple address. She said she has book at home but she is not doing practice. I was insisting her to come with book and me or my mother will teach her. But she never braught it. I never thought of buying her a book and make her to learn compulsory. Today is a day where I got idea from community of appreciating a public servant as my kindness challenge. And that made me think of buying a book for her. I surprised her today with language learning books and asked for her commitment to learn with me or my mother daily. And she has commited and was looking so happy. This has made my day today. :) hope this time she will continue her learning atleast upto read and write. :)
