Doing an act of kindness triggers the release of serotonin and dopamine, improving our mood for both the giver and the receiver. Kindness will create a ripple effect; witnessing it inspires others to act kindly, multiplying its impact.
Simple acts, like a smile or compliment, can strengthen relationships and build trust. People who practice regular acts of kindness report greater life satisfaction and lower stress levels.
Being kind improves self-esteem by reinforcing a positive sense of identity and purpose. Studies show communities with higher levels of altruism are often happier and more resilient.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
