It is not about religion or earning points for the afterlife, but about the simple fact that the things that surround us are part of us: by improving them, we also improve with them. Think of all the times you have tried to help someone or simply do your bit to do good in the world.
We are full of mistakes, regrets and we have both good and bad times. This is our nature, but in it is also the consciousness of change, doing things to transcend. These actions will undoubtedly help you know that every time you carry them out, the impact you generate on someone will be real and profound..
Apologize for something bad you have done in the past
This is a good way to help someone and help yourself. We all have skeletons in the closet, situations that got out of control and that we never managed to fully rectify. An unexpected call, a forgiveness that was thought forgotten… It’s always a good time to start over.
Write a letter to a loved one
People may know you love them, but a letter explaining your feelings really has the power to transform a relationship. Surely one of your partners has had a letter from you, but what about your parents, siblings or even close friends?
Give away things you don’t need
From clothes you know you’ll never wear again, to an appliance that may have been unplugged for over a year, the things you hoard come through in unthinkable ways. By giving away what you don’t need, you will walk lighter and more carefree for life and help others at the same time.
support someone’s dream
This is as simple as paying someone a compliment who is trying to follow their dreams, or paying to see a local play. Making it clear to someone that her talent is real and that it matters can change lives.
The path we travel to fulfill our dreams is never easy. We always run into many obstacles before reaching the goal. A pat on the back may be all we need to keep from giving up.
Send flowers anonymously
Make no mistake: the point is not to get into some weird game that can be mistaken for bullying. It is about having a nice gesture to cheer up a person who you know is having a hard time. They don’t have to be store bought flowers. You can also choose to give life with a beautiful plant.
To a person who is going through a gray moment of his life, receiving a little life and color will at least make him smile and give him back a little hope.
Help someone in need
Whether it’s a person on the street, someone with a problem at work, or even just listening to a loved one who needs to vent. You have many skills that you can put to work to transform someone’s day. Don’t stop using them!
call someone you miss
The advice always says to call your mother or your grandparents, because maybe it’s time to do it. In the same way, it may be possible to call a childhood friend or that friend with whom they always say they should see each other, but never do.
Although social networks and mobile phones create the feeling of being in constant contact, there is nothing like face-to-face interactions. Make a space in your agenda for those people you care about. A few hours of your time can be the best gift for someone.
Give food to someone in need
You may not be able to completely change the situation of a person in need, but a hearty hot breakfast, lunch or dinner will surely take away their hunger and lift their spirits too. Maybe even that push will eventually help her find the solution to her problems.
Donate time or money to a charity
It doesn’t have to be a lot of money. You also don’t need to subscribe to a monthly donation system. Simply help a charity or NGO that can transform the lives of many people or that is at least committed to a cause with which you feel identified.
If you are not in a position to contribute money, you may be able to volunteer.
Donate blood
This action is much more important than you think. There are people who depend on donors to be able to improve. You can even sign up for a bone marrow donation program and get on the waiting list. If one day you are called to do it, you can be sure that you will be saving a life.
Some things are easier than others, but without a doubt all of them can generate a change in you and in others. Whenever you feel that the things you do are not enough, remember that you have many possibilities to generate a positive impact in the world.
And you, which of these actions will you start with?
