Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, a day to encourage doing simple deeds for others and instilling a habit of generosity in our lives.

A recent study found that being kind to ourselves, to anyone else, or actively observing kindness around us boosts happiness. Kindness can be as simple as a smile, holding the door for someone, sending a note of thanks, or even observing kindness in others. Kindness makes the world a better place.
