Practice random acts of kindness
I once had a $20 gift card to Starbucks and when you don't drink coffee, $20 is a lot of hot chocolate. Rather than making myself sick on hot chocolate and caramel apple cider, I bought myself and Addie a hot chocolate and left the gift card with the cashier to pay for the person behind me. I have no idea how far it spread or if it spread at all, but I have to believe that restored at least one person's faith in humanity, even if it was the shocked cashier I left the gift card with. Look for chances to commit random acts of kindness and follow through without any expectation of reward. Related: #26ActsofKindness: 20 simple things you can do to help others
