Have you ever had a stranger hold the door open for you? It’s the little things. Small smiles as you pass each other, the kind person who helps you pick up the groceries you dropped, and even the people who keep the elevators open because they can see you walking towards it. People do kind things all the time, and often those kind things make peoples days. When you smile at a stranger, it could be the smile that they needed to keep going. We should all do good deeds, even to the people we don’t know.

Some good deeds you can do for people are: holding open the door, giving homeless people money, doing household chores without being asked, and even just offering a nice smile (even to the people who don’t look happy or smile back). Even if you don’t know people, and they don’t know you, you can do nice things. Even if you can’t tell, people appreciate when you do nice things for them.

Doing good deeds doesn’t have to be a chore, or an every day thing. We should all do good deeds sure, but we don’t need to overdo ourselves.

Within this blog post, i hope to have inspired you all to go out and do a good thing. Even if it’s as simple as smiling at a glum looking stranger while you’re out grocery shopping. People appreciate these things when we do them just as much as we appreciate them when other people do them for us. I hope every one does atleast one good thing after reading this!
