Doing good deeds not only affects those around you, but also improves your own emotional well-being. Try these random acts of kindness from Debbie Macomber , author of One Simple Act: Discovering the Power of Generosity . So how do we get in the habit of doing good deeds ? Habits need to be cultivated. When I decided I wanted to do a daily good deed, I found myself looking for simple things that would brighten someone’s day. The desire made me more intentional. I started looking for ways to show kindness. I’m not saying it comes easily. We’re all busy, distracted, and pulled in far too many directions. As with any habit , the more you practice, the more ingrained it will become. I second what John Wooden once said: “You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” And each time we perform some small act of kindness, we’ll find ourselves rewarded by that rush of happiness and stress release.

That It’s not about how much love you have in the beginning, but how much love you build until the end (If the end comes). A relationship should be healthy, caring, loving, kind, upbeat, and positive. It should make your smile a little wider and your life a little brighter. - Say "Amen Tyler" if you agree. J !
