Illuminating empowerment

Despite all the gloom and doom with the horrific stories that are currently circulated in the media today, It’s little wonder why so many people feel it’s a cruel world. Though if we look closely it’s also true that this isn’t the case, there are many people out there who are willing to do good, despite the circumstances, there is evidence of acts that people still do want to make this world a better place.

In Kansas City there were a few homeless men that were raising money for a 4 year old cancer patient, These men had nothing at all, they initiated the Pennies for Payton campaign of their own so they could help the 4 year old’s family pay for medical bills. Though Payton was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 2. The support financially and emotionally that this family received from these men is very heart warming.

On another topic the University of British Columbia has just opened it’s doors to 110 disadvantaged african students to receive a full scholarship. The mastercard foundation had donated $25 million dollars to help support these disadvantaged children to ensure that Africa has a growth with a new generation of leaders to support its economy.

The recent fertilizer explosion that devastated a town in Texas left many people shocked, which resulted in the deaths and casualties of people in the surrounding areas of the explosion, The Czech Republic plans to donate $200,000 to aid in rebuilding the town and aid to support those affected by the blast.

Or how about this video where this man stops in the middle of traffic to help an elderly woman cross the road, when he could have easily beeped at her and get start yelling.

On another note right now there are some people out there who are unhappy with their current jobs out there, due to lack of care from management, employees pays not being prioritized, issues that are raised not being rectified and ignored for weeks before anything happens. this can all lead to a unhappy and unsatisfied employee which in turn drops productivity of the company in turn effecting it’s overall performance. Well according to Parnassus investment, the Parnassus workplace fund has proven that employers that treat their employees well generally make more money compared to a workplace that doesn’t. This article I have come across has uncovered that treating people well sincerely appreciating them does lead to far better performance. So if you think that in your job you are not being treated fairly, there are companies out there on this list that are willing to show you otherwise!

This video below is about Charles Ziglar, from the Winston-Salem police department located in North Carolina, won the heart’s of many people when someone posted a picture up on the internet of him picking up a mother with her child in the cold wet rain to offer them a ride home. He did this so he could get them out of that nasty weather as an act of kindness when he could have easily just passed by them.

Another story I wanted to share with you is about a man who fell from a ladder and injured himself, he had spent a long time in hospital recovering, though he was fortunate to receive alot of support where people were just sending him bouquets of flowers. When he left the hospital he saw how empty the patients room’s were on the way out, that’s when randomactsofflowers.org was founded  He wanted to support other’s by showing the same kindness that was showed to him.

As you can see from what I have shared with you above, it’s very powerful the impact of an act of kindness can have on somebody. Which is why there is always something to be grateful for and always something good happening out there! also another reason why to stay positive and optimistic.
