Being good is better than being rich.
Being worried is better than being indifferent.
Being humble is better than being cool.
Watching/reading news all the time is better than not knowing anything and talking nonsense.
Helping a little bit is better than not helping at all.
Being together, united is better than anything.

What goes around comes around
You know the saying βWhat goes around comes aroundβ? π€ I totally believe in it! π€ And itβs not only about Karma and receiving some good energy after you give it π«, this rule works in every aspect of our lives π
:::
In order to get good energy and get help from others you need to send good energy and help others as well π! I doubt that anybody would help a grumpy person that never helps anyone π€·πΌββοΈ
:::
But also in order to grow and to be better you need to give something too – work and time π. The more work and time youβll put in something (in your passion, project, dream) the quicker and better it will get back to you βΊ
:::
Thereβs no shortcuts in it. You canβt expect to grow and to reach your dreams/goals if youβre not doing anything π€·πΌββοΈ. You need to work to get results πͺ
:::
Even if something does not work out you still get a lesson, an experience β thatβs also your results! π
Β
Stop waiting for the world to change and go change the world! πͺπ
Nothing will happen itself π€·πΌββοΈ. You need to βhelpβ it make it happen! π
Good deeds
How’s your Xmas preparations going? Did you write a letter to Santa? π
Here’s 10 good deeds you can do around Xmas time! π
β€ Do grocery shopping for your elder neighbours
β€ Let somebody sit in your sit on a bus
β€ Write a postcard with Xmas wishes and put it in somebody’s mailbox
β€ Cook a meal and feed the homeless
β€ Find some charity you can support either financially or volunteer at some charity event
β€ Hug somebody who’s feeling sad
β€ Send somebody some positive thought, a positive quote
β€ Smile at a stranger
β€ Feed the birds or some homeless animal
β€ Pack a box (it can be anything handmade or something you don’t need maybe) and leave it as a surprise box in a park
I already did 4 of those and today did last from the list – I packed 2 Secret Santa boxes and left in the park. Here are some photos but watch my today’s stories on Instagram to see the whole thing including a video of a homeless man opening the box β€!
Little things
There is this saying, one of my favourites, βNot everyday is good but there is something good in everydayβ and I so agree! π
:::
Even though this year has been tough to all of us I am more than sure that we could find something good in all of those days! Like the color of the sky, smell of flowers or somebody being nice to you! π
:::
Last 3 months have been very very tough for me, healthwise π€, workwise π, many family issues π, some friends let me down πβ¦believe me, it has not been easy π€·πΌββοΈ and in the end when I was thinking that the only positive issue this year (besides my covid test 2 months ago π) is my financial situation, I got half of my usual salary today π€¦πΌββοΈ and even though itβs all good now and itΒ turned out to be a mistake by somebody in HR I wonβt get the missing half until January π€·πΌββοΈβ¦ so 2020 misery goes on π
:::
BUT! Even though itβs been so tough I managed to see some good in everyday, to get excited about something every week, to be happy despite all the problems and thatβs how positive mind works! π
:::
Iβve been admiring beautiful sunrises and sunsets π (I am pretty sure that the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in Poland are in December), Iβve been veeeery creative and doing plenty DIY stuff that youβve seen/see in Smiley Advent Calendar π, Iβve been doing silly sketches and dances with my husband to make our moods better π€ͺ, Iβve been admiring beautiful fruity smell of my favourite shower gel each day π, Iβve been more and more excited about upcoming Xmas creating beautiful Xmas decorations π, Iβve been grateful for every help that I got either from a stranger on a street or from a colleague at work πβ¦ there is so much good around us we just need to notice it! π€
Now tell me something good that happened to you today!
P.s. Here’s a little extra from today’s Smiley Advent Calendar box on my Instagram:
