“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”

See a meter that’s about to expire? Surprise the driver and slip in another quarter.

Today I am ME. I will not be shy to spread my knowledge and joy with the rest of the world!

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Drop off dinner or groceries to an elderly friend, neighbor, or relative who can’t get out much. You may be the only human contact they have that day.

Today I will think of others more than I think of myself. I put my problems out of my mind, and think of how I can help others get through theirs.

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

Take the time to visit someone who didn’t show up to school today because they were sick. Or make copies of the notes they missed for when they return. No one likes to feel out of the loop.

Today I’m super helpful! I have the power to make a positive difference in someone’s life.

“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Pay a visit to an animal shelter.

Today I am thankful for my loyal pets because they bring a lot of joy to my life. It is my pleasure to be a loving pet owner. Their well-being is a wonderful responsibility that benefits me as well.

“If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”

Be honest.

Today I will be honest with myself as well as with others. If I disagree with something, I will voice my opinion in the most mature and respectable way possible. Honesty is always the best policy.

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

Character speaks volumes about a person. Be especially mindful of your ethics, even in what may be constituted as small and insignificant matters.

Today I recognize that I am a special INDIVIDUAL! I have characteristics that make me different from everyone else and that’s what makes me GREAT!

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Open your heart and mind to the world. Take a risk and try something new. Scary? Yes. Worth it? Definitely.

Today I will let go of my worries and remember to make the best of every moment! Take risks! Smile! Life is great!

“You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.”

Kick-start someone’s day. Send them a good-morning text when you wake up.

Today I’m going to put my best effort into everything I do.

“Remember that you are all people and all people are you.”

Send a heartfelt, genuine note to your boss or mentor sharing some of the benefits you’ve gained from the job; not just professionally but personally as well.

Today I appreciate the people in my life. They’ve all made me the person I am today. They form the universe of stars that make up my life.

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

Buy a dozen sandwiches and pass them out to homeless folks in a busy area. Your act may very well start a domino effect of kindness.

Today I LOVE. I will share this love with all those around me!

“Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin; it should make you jump up and do something.”

Come up with an exciting way to bring awareness to the power of kindness in your school. Make a poster, start a club, or leave random kindness stickers on people’s lockers.

Today I am innovative! There are so many ways to bring joy and change to the world! My ideas are valuable and it would be selfish to keep them to myself!

“Wisdom begins in wonder.”

Plant a tree! Whether you physically plant the seed or make a donation, you can rest assured knowing that you have added more beauty and life to the world.

Today I will be more mindful of others and how I interact with them. I will try to bring as much positivity into the world as I can.

“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”

Go out of your way to attend a wedding you might not have attended.

Today I am fearless! Instead of running away from my challenges, I will find the inner courage to face my obstacles head-on!

“Family is not an important thing, it’s everything.”

Who’s up for a pillow fight? Spend some quality time with your sibling( s) or childhood friends. They will help you reconnect to a part of yourself you may have lost sight of over time.

Today I will remember that I am surrounded by family, friends, and good people. When I am surrounded by love and good people, good things happen.

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”

Donate blood or make an appointment to donate blood today. You might save a life.

Today I am generous. I don’t give to receive. I give because that’s who I am.
