Random Acts of Kindness

It’s the little things in life that people can do to make your day better. Whether it’s holding the door open for someone behind you, or saying Hello to someone, it can really make a difference to that person.

RYL is a community based site, where everyone has the opportunity to make a difference. Let’s spread the positive energy around. Next time an opportunity presents itself, take it. Even if you don’t know what to say, you can give a hug to a person so that they no someone is there and cares. I know many people are already doing this and it’s fantastic.

The world can always use some positive energy, so let’s make it a point to do those little things whenever we are able to.

Let’s start here, today.

Sending random PMs is a great, quick and easy way to get talking to people. If you've seen someone around a lot, or you've noticed that they've been helpful around the boards, why not drop them a PM?


It only takes a few seconds to send a PM to someone and ask them how they are doing. Send a PM to someone you haven’t spoken to, it can be completely at random.

This is the place to share any ideas you may have of the little things, that you’d like to see people do more often.

couldnt agree more. That pretty much is me....unfortunately where I live, no one takes notice if such things
The smallest things matter, and in my experience I was able to give that and have it back....until they messed up bad!

Now I feel like whoever it is I try and do these small good things, they just take one look as if to say "so what?" - not nice huh :(

But remember folks, its all about being a better person, improving yourself for the better and having an open mind, experimenting, facing up to challanges and tackling them head on - its what makes you stronger and better be it personally or professionally. The only way to learn and to face your fears. Makes you feel that you have achieved something, be it walking to the front door or flying on a plane.... every bit counts and helps

I agree, it can make the world of difference to someone, but also to yourself. Knowing you've helped others makes you a happier person. We need more random acts of kindness in this modern time.



My scars remind me that the past is real.
I tear my heart open just to feel.

I find that just a simple smile or hug can make a bad day slightly better :)

I agree, as someone once told me, "the only way past it is through it." That really holds true, and will only make you stronger.

The thing to remember is that if you are helping yourself, you are helping others. The more you learn the more you can share with others. The things we go through, can help others through the experience we gain.

We certainly need more random acts of kindness. Together we can come up with a list of random acts that can be done to help make this world a better place, and if possible implement them here.

Helping others is a win-win situation. You'll feel better and so will the receiving person.

I'll randomly give people food, like if I have an extra bottle of water and someone is thirsty, I'll give it to them. I try not to be stingy.



I'm wide awake...

With demons dancing off mirror images reflecting all that you wanted.
So far from perfect, onward we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth, this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were, it's time to see the other side of what you have become.
