While photographing Xu Zhen’s “Eternity-Buddha in Nirvana” at the National Gallery of Victoria Melbourne Snaps had a lightbulb moment. Let’s create “Random Acts of Kindness Day” (#raok). Each of us can have our very own day; a unique and personal date. It might be every day, a day a week, a fortnight or a month. Perhaps it’s a day that’s meaningful to you or an opportune moment one unexpected day.
Smile at anyone who needs one, make that moment theirs, truly listen, open a door for a stranger, offer up your seat, hug a friend when least expected, spread laughter, be genuinely present, share a meal, donate to a cause that moves you, volunteer time, text a joke to a mate in need of a giggle, return uninvited after that late night party broom in hand, surprise your significant other, arrive unannounced with a paintbrush when your friend is painting, gift encouragement.
Of course Kindness is for Always but cast it further, make it a surprise and create your very own Random Act of Kindness on your very own Day.
Use #raok for your ideas for Random Acts of Kindness.
Feel free to share.
Love the image, the idea of #raok even more! If we all performed that act of kindness each day what a difference it could make.. I do and it makes me feel good too ☺ Happy weekend Joe ✨
