We have all heard the saying “It’s nice to be nice” but often, many people think that being nice means doing grand acts. However, the nicest and kindest acts are often the ones that are the smallest. The beauty of a random act of kindness is that it can be done in seconds but can really make somebodies day. What this article looks to do is highlight 90 of the nicest random acts that you can choose to do each day to make someone feel good.
