so, i started planning for my own smile project back a few months ago. and have started on my random acts of kindness. will post them up soon as i goes. here's a
piktochart i made myself!
What is the Project About?
The Smile Project
isn’t new, and nothing exceptionally big but its more encouraging towards
little steps and gestures everyone could take to make the place we live in a
little more positive and mainly about making someone’s day- Anyone’s day. Its base on
the act of kindness concept, I am sure many have heard of it!
And some have
done amazing gestures to the community! But as easy as it may sound, we tend to
take it for granted and actions are in fact a lot harder than said. The society
we live in now, kind of need this little gestures slowly it restores people’s
perceptions and who knows open up hearts more easily.
I’m no big
organization. I don’t need one, i just need everyone. because there is so much for an individual to
contribute in the project with just simple everyday gestures. Everyone needs
that little spark that puts a smile back and motivates us to move forward for
great day. And I realize we need more of these little acts of kindness around. Period.
The project
is to build awareness and in hopes to open minds, hearts and souls.
I will be blogging on the project with little gestures i did- anyone could do,
encouraging everyone to take part whenever, wherever, whoever.
I admit im
quite a pessismist and a person who’s always thinking on risks and what ifs
this and this happens and which makes it stressful and vulnerable sometimes. See.
When people makes my day with a candy. Or
a sticky note of encouragement. It pumps up a lot of happy pills.
The origin of this little project
Psst, I’ll
tell you a secret, all my birthday candles where we make a birthday wishes.
Every since
I knew about birthday wishes, back when I was really really young, let’s face
it. we never really knew what we wanted for realz. The best would be some toys
we really wanted. But I didn’t want to waste my birthday wish on toys. There were
too many things I wanted and I am an indecisive child. I still am. So I generalized
everything. I picked the best. That is,
"I wish for everyone around me, friends and
family to be happy always. "
Or to be happy together.
Mainly cause I wanted to be a happy child with all I want.
Thinking
about it, I have always used my birthday wish for everyone. Should’ve asked for
a jackpot aye? But whether it was true that birthday wishes come true or not. I
usually know deep down, every year at least I secretly know I was part of it. Whether
or not it was happening? I can say generally everyone is happy, not always- but overall
happy. As cliché as it may be, I kept it as an annual wish. Simple and good. Cause
I had nothing I wanted in particular and no need think so many when the candles
light up and I can take more pictures. HAAAHA
Believe it
or not. And as I always end my prayers with ‘happy family, Amen’.. don’t ask why it
ends with happy family. But I think we, all 3 siblings do that too. And I am glad. I
indeed have a happy family I am still grateful and happy.
little things can really make anybody's day. do your part in making a difference to the community. and have fun! it can be anything from thank yous to flowers to a random shop owner. the feeling of accomplishment, making someone's day is magical as you see wide smiles on people's face. somehow or rather it would make you happy too!
