to the people around you - your family, friends, children, older people and even to strangers. It means to be polite and treat people well – even if they give you no specific reason. Sometimes this is just a smile or a compliment you give a stranger. But it can also be the favourite coffee or food you buy your friend to show you care about her or him.

To be nice to others – you have to be nice to yourself first. Public gestures come from a strong character driven by deep values. We hope you know how loved you are – so take care of yourself too. And stop being so afraid to be confident. Your are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.

 

things that are meaningful. A little more kindness – a little less judgment. Kind words cost nothing but have the power to light someone up. Open the doors for others, help people who might have difficulty doing things on their own. You can´t even imagine what kind of an impact that could have on someones life. So take action. :)

Be proactive, think win-win and seek first to understand then to be understood. In fact, selfless people who give, help and volunteer a lot are typically happier people.

Why? Because doing good decreases stress, helps you to build better relationships and will motivate you to do good again. It builds your character.

Never stop doing good things because of how people are treating you. Be kind to unkind people - they often need it the most.

 

Be present in the moment. Physically we are often here, but mentally and emotionally we are elsewhere. Stop for a moment and appreciate everything that is happening right now. By being present you will be more aware of your environment and the people around you. You will see all the random chances and possibilities to do good things.

Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people!

 

SUPPORT OTHERS

Love, motivate and celebrate people, encourage and believe the best about others. Spend time with your loved ones and make memories. Be a cheerleader.

People > T-Do´s

Call and listen. Simply allowing your friends to discuss their feelings in an open environment can make a big impact. There are times when it is good to listen, give advices, or just be by their side. This will lead to deep and strong relationships. Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. 

 

Support others also means to look for the best in someone. Think positive! Don´t think the worst of others around you. Even if people have disappointed you in the past, don´t lose hope. It doesn´t mean you don´t see the worst, it just means that even in the middle of the worst time of someone´s life, you remember the best, celebrate the best and remind that person of their best. By believing in people so much we help them bear their failures.

 

 All of us are works in progress and we all have a few faults and failures. But we also all wish at some point to have – or wish we had – people in our lives who are solid roofs to rely on. We can be that person for someone else in our lives.

 

Check on neighbors and family members, especially those who live alone, are elderly or have health and mobility issues.

Just because someone carries it well doesn´t mean it isn´t heavy.

Please check on your friends <3
