Become a Daymaker

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~Leo Buscaglia



Someone asked me the other day how they could make a difference in other's lives. The problem they said is that they didn't have a lot of time between working, kids and taking care of everything else to find time to volunteer or give back in some way.

I said, "Don't put pressure on yourself and worry about the big things because it's the little things that count too. You can make a difference; all you have to do is just become a little more aware."

Every day is a new opportunity to make someone's day. And there are lots of ways you can go about it. People are always looking for their purpose in life. So, while you're still waiting for the revelation to come to you, why not become a Daymaker while you're waiting?

It's easy. You don't have to sign up. You don't have to do it from 9-5 and you don't even have to do it at all if you don't want to. But, when you do decide to make someone's day a little bit better, you inadvertently make your day better too.

The good news about becoming a Daymaker is that you're your own boss. You don't have anyone telling you how to make someone's day, you can do it anyway you want, any time you want; when the mood strikes you.

Plus it's free. It doesn't cost you anything. No fees for training, schooling or practicing. You can arbitrarily walk around doing and showing acts of kindness through random actions, words and gestures and just like that, in an instant, you can make someone's day.

And, many times it's the little things you do or say that make the difference. Whether it's simply a smile, an unexpected compliment, holding a door open, looking at someone in their eyes when they talk to you, giving a hug or, saying I love you, just spread a little love!

Making someone's day can run the gamut of random acts of kindness; anywhere from giving money, lending a helping hand or a quiet prayer. You choose.

So what do you think? We can even make our own National Daymaker's Day! Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone decided to just do one little thing to make someone's day?

With all the stress, loneliness and sadness that so many people experience it could be the one small word or gesture that you say or do that could make all the difference in their day.

Don't allow all of your own worries, stresses and fears become so big that you forget how to be nice. Everyone has a bad day now and again. Wouldn't it be nice if you were they reason they had a good day instead?
