Good Deed

This is Thanksgiving week.  A time to remember to be thankful for all the things in our lives.  Good deeds are actions you take for the betterment of another person or the society as a whole.  When we see the world turning harder and colder to one another be sure to go out and do a good deed today!

Reflecting

So, for a moment, let’s remember how difficult these past few years have been. People cried, got sick, and unfortunately died. Businesses collapsed. And so naturally, anxiety, depression, and mental illness increased. Yet, with all this chaos, people still went out to do good deeds. You don’t always need a lot of money to make someone else very happy. We can spread kindness just by a smile or with a hello.

Perceived as Good

A good deed is an action you can take for the betterment of another person or society as a whole. However, good deeds need to be seen as good by the recipient. Otherwise, they don’t count. So, you might need to do some trial and error while trying your best to put a smile on someone’s face or to  make the world a better place.

Good Deed Ideas

Either way, finding time to spend with friends and family is a great way to keep your social life active. After all, those with the happiest relationships live the longest.

Check with a friend that has had a rough time lately – When people are struggling, they need all the support they can get. So, check-in, listen without giving advice, and be there for them.

Thought for the day

I will leave you with this quote from poet Adam Lindsey Gordon (1833-1870) – Life is mostly froth and bubble; two things stand like stone; kindness in another’s trouble; courage in our own.
