Tell someone that you care about them by complimenting them. It can be a big compliment or a small one. The point is that you share what good you see in them. That will help them develop confidence and a stronger sense of self.
Volunteer!
Find a good cause you care about and give your time to it. Serve in some way. Volunteering transforms your hard work into other people’s happiness. This is one of the most common acts of kindness that you can do.
Contribute to a Charity!
If you can’t serve a charity or nonprofit, you can give financially or even raise money with a fundraiser. Volunteering and contributing to charity are acts of kindness that require sacrifice but are definitely worth it.
Visit Someone. 🤗🤗
People may know you care but are you present with them? It’s best to give your time to those you care about and show them that they matter to you. Go and visit them while you can. This simple act of kindness can go a long way.
Listen!
When someone talks, are you really listening? A person will feel like you are listening if you actively respond and can repeat back what they’ve said, asking questions to further probe their problems.
Listen!
Regardless if you’re actively or passively listening, listening has positive effects on others, which is a step towards making the world a better place.
ShowEmpathy–feel what someone else is feeling. Put yourself in their place. They may need that, and this shows that you understand what they are going through, which can help make them feel better. Showing empathy is one of the simplest yet best ways acts of kindness can manifest
Point out the Positive for Someone. ❤❤
Not everyone can see the positive side of things, especially if they are going through very rough times. It may make their day though if you show it to them. Then, they can enjoy it, too.
Help Someone With Something.
Do you have the ability to help out? It doesn’t matter how you can help, just find some way to be of use to someone. You neva know how doing so might find its way back to you. Ask how you may be of help, & it just might make someone’s day alot better
Give Input or Advice.
Someone may benefit from what you know. You may have the experience that they don’t have. When you give input about something using your expertise, you are more appreciated for doing so.
Lead Others.
You may now know it, but people may be looking to you as an example of what to do. You can lead them from point A to point B, maybe because you’ve gotten there yourself or because they trust you.
Promote Someone.
Show off someone’s skills and their value. This will make them feel good enough as well as touched by this act of kindness. It not only benefits them economically/financially, but it also helps them mentally and emotionally, knowing that you believe in them.
Tell Someone That They Matter.
People don’t always know their worth. Some people don’t recognize that they and what they do matter to others. If you tell them that they are worthwhile, they will feel better and be able to do better.
Teach Someone a New Skill.
You don’t have to be a teacher to share your knowledge. If you teach someone a new skill, they will spread the knowledge and your influence may extend to more people. This is a simple yet effective act of kindness that can help improve the world.
Love.
Love makes the world go round. Love is the ultimate manifestation of kindness. And when you love someone, let them know it. Let them feel that you are in their life for the right reasons and that you want to be there for them.
Heal Someone.
If you can heal someone, you can make the world a better place. You can heal them emotionally, physically, or spiritually and if you heal them, they will never forget it. You will feel healed in your heart, too.
Be an Advocate.
Stand up for someone or something. Sometimes, it’s not easy to do the right thing, but if you want to show that you care, you have to put a stop to any form of injustice. You may be the only one to take that stand. Know that it matters.
Forgive.
Grudges hold us back. Second chances give us more life. It’s not just for them, it’s for us. When the situation is appropriate, be the bigger person and you will have a better life. Forgiveness may not come easy, but you’ll find that it transforms everything it touches.
Be Nice.
Other acts of kindness require more effort, but you can just be nice and this will contribute to having a better world. The important thing is to always be aware of your words and actions.
You may not understand someone’s point of view or see a lack of experience compared to your own. But you can still meet them where they are and how they are still important to you. Find ways to use this to teach them how to be better. Find grace, patience, and understanding.
SAVE A LIFE!
If someone’s in need and you answer the call, that simple act can change everything. Sometimes, the little things we do can already save or change the lives of others. Make the world a better place by saving those within it...
This is the greatest thing you can do with all your talents, money, and time.
Can you think of more ways to make the world a better place? Then do it. Invite others to do it with you, too. This will change the world, but it will also change you. You will become happier and healthier to have done so.

Depression means different things for different people. Whether it’s something you’ve dealt with your whole life, something that was triggered by an event, or something that frequently comes and goes, one thing is certain—depression steals so much of your life.
For some, it can last for days and for others it can last for years. For me, the best way I can describe depression is by looking at this shit as a physical being. I imagine it as a monster!
A monster that grabs you & throws you in a dark & stale room. As hard as you try to escape, the door is locked. So you sit in the corner and wait. Wait for any light to turn on, any window to open, or for that medication to kick in, finally opening that door and setting you free.
Why do you pay tithe if I may ask? I very well know that nobody in the bible paid tithe because he was looking for breakthrough or financial reward like your pastors promise you. 😂😂
These pastors says the old testament is done away with... but they use an Old Testament scripture to collect tithes from the people.
Mal 3 was in response to the commandment in Deut 14 22-29 . It is meant to be eaten by the tithe payer in the presence of God.
The people had abandoned the instruction and God was asking them to go back to it. Malachi used "meat" not money because tithe was edible.
