I thought instead of helping myself I'd do something for somebody else. Doing something kind for a stranger actually made me feel pretty good about myself.
So what was the specific kind act I did for a complete stranger? As I was going through the drive through I decided to pay for the order of the person behind me too.
When I told the cashier I wanted to pay for the person behind me I suddenly wondered what they had ordered. What if they were placing an order for an unbelievably large group of people? But that thought quickly went away.
I think doing something nice doesn't have to be anything big or extravagant; It doesn't have to be paying for dinner for the person behind you like I did. It can be something as simple as opening the door, smiling, saying hello or thank you. A smile and a thank you can go a long way.
