Spread the Word

I have an idea. Hope is something to be shared, and given freely. So to anyone who will read this, I implore you to join me. This will be a subtle campaign, but a noble cause regardless.

It's simple:
All you need is a pad of post-its, a pen, a little bit of creativity(or the internet, or both), and the willingness to help someone you may never see, will likely never thank you, and to invest efforts into doing something good.

The idea is this: Think of a quote or phrase that might make another person smile/give them hope/brighten their day/realize that people still care. Put one phrase or quote on each post-it. If it's a really good one, feel free to make duplicates. Come up with as many as you can, and if you run out of ideas use the internet to find more. Then, once you have some written down, carry the note pad with you any time you go out(grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, movie theater, everywhere, etc.) and make it a point to place at least one every time you're out and about. Place it wherever it feels right. Listen to your intuition, because you never know who might find it, or how much they'll need it. The point would be to put them in places people are actually likely to find them, so don't hide them too well(or do, again you never know). Try to do this casually, so you don't draw too much attention and the source can remain anonymous. Remember we aren't doing this for thanks, just to help people hope, or smile, or lift their spirits if they're down. Use good handwriting if you can, so that whoever finds it can actually read it. Spread it out; you don't need to put an entire pad in the dairy section of the grocery store. Go for maximum exposure(e.g. maybe place one in every store you go to), I want to start a movement (maybe even global one day!) to restore hope, love, and goodness in people. Random acts of kindness.

Who knows, if this catches on maybe you'll be feeling down one day and find one. And hopefully it will put a smile on your face and warm your heart. Keep in mind, love begets love(smile at someone, and they smile at someone else. eventually your smile might come back to you, and even if it doesn't you've still made someone smile).
