Remember \u2013 what goes around comes around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0Smile.<\/strong>\u00a0Whether you\u2019re waking up, heading for the office or running household errands, just smile. Simply flash a smile to someone dear to you or to a complete stranger. It can make their day. It can make your day, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0Surprise.<\/strong>\u00a0Surprise someone with a flower, a freshly brewed coffee or an invitation to dinner at your house. Be the person who spices up other people&#8217;s lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0Listen.<\/strong>\u00a0Put everything else aside and lend an ear to someone who needs it. Sometimes we only need to share our thoughts with another to feel better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0Share.<\/strong>\u00a0Share dessert with your new neighbours. Share good ideas with your colleagues. Share positive energy with a person you\u2019ve just met for the first time. Sharing is caring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0Donate.<\/strong>\u00a0It could be clothes you no longer wear, books you won&#8217;t read again or even an ageing yet functional washing machine you want to replace. Donate what you no longer need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.\u00a0Lend a helping hand.<\/strong>\u00a0Be it daily chores such as cleaning the kitchen, or a highly complex project at work, take your time and help others. The secret to happiness is helping others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.\u00a0Give thanks.<\/strong>\u00a0Stick a simple thank you note on the fridge at home or a coworker\u2019s monitor in your office. Express gratefulness to those who deserve it.
