The Deliberate
Random Acts of Kindness,
Game!
"Commit Random Acts of Kindness
and Senseless Beauty"
Variations on this underground slogan have been circulating
for some time now.
Acts of kindness can be anything: opening a door for someone,
giving away roses or balloons, complimenting a cashier, reading to a friend,
taking a meal to someone ill, picking up litter, or offering a sincere
expression of love and appreciation to a friend, stranger or enemy.
Like many, when first exposed to this notion, I thought
"What a great idea!" and ran out and got my own bumper sticker. Whenever
it occurred to me, I would do the unexpected, like pay the toll of the
car behind me. I was always amazed at how good I would end up feeling,
not to mention the impact on the receiver.
I wondered what besides bumper stickers and the occasional
news story might help spread this grass roots movement of kindness?
As fate would have it, I had been receiving many invitation
to participate in various network marketing companies at that time, and
so. . . the idea was born!
A deliberate kindness game based on
the same exponential expansion as these other (usually profit motivated)
systems!
Expanding ripples...
Three things became obvious...
1. Acting in kindness blesses me and the people
whose lives I touch...
2. Inspiring another to act in kindness effects
the lives of the people they touch...
But...
3. Inspiring others to inspire others could
touch the planet!
Here is the math...
Deliberately performing two acts of kindness a month for
two years results in 48 acts in all.
If you perform two acts of kindness a month and also share
The Kindness Game with 2 people (who agree to play the game)
the results, in your last month alone would be...
over 33 MILLION acts of kindness!!
Hard to grasp? Check it on your calculator (if it goes that high.)
Just press 2X2=4 X2=8 X2=16 etc. 24 times.
How would the world feel or be different with millions of
people deliberately performing acts of kindness?
This is your invitation to participate in The
Kindness Game.
