Others succeed where I fail

So today, I was not able to achieve my goal of doing one random act of kindness for someone. That does not mean that I am going to give up on this site or that I am a failure. My heart is in the right place and I will always help others or do something nice if the opportunity is given.

On that note, I am not discouraged. Today I found out that other people have been doing acts of kindness for people. I was talking to my mom today, and she said that while she was at the checkout in the store she was behind a female that appeared to be college aged and an elder lady who was in the middle of paying for her purchase. This elder woman was looking around her purse for the reminder of the bill, which was only $3. After a few minuets and only finding a dollar my mom started to reach for her purse to give the lady the reminder, but before she could do so, the girl ahead of my mom paid for the elder woman. Another thing that I was told about was from my cousin. While he was driving the other day her saw a hitchhiker. At first he did not pick the person up, but after a few minuets of driving, he decided to go back and offer a ride. Unfortunately when my cousin got to the spot, the person was gone, and some unknown driver must have picked him up.

Even though I did not do anything of worth today, it makes me happy to see that others are doing kind things for strangers.

I have really been thinking a lot lately and I am not sure how far this is going to go. I know that the person I am will always do its best to help others, but will it get to a point where I am not making any effect. I know the slightest things can make all the difference in the world. I just want to make a positive impact on the world before I go. I wonder how many others there are like me and if they feel the same way? I never want to know what the world would be like if I never existed or had a different attitude about people. I am the way I am because I am meant to do things like this.

No matter what happens in my life I know that I am doing the right thing. Everything happens for a reason I feel, and good things are happening, I just have to look for them.
