Beginning October 1st, we are challenging ourselves to do 90 straight days of kindness for others. We will be posting a minimum of 3-4 times per week to share with your our experiences and the difference it made in our lives that day. We encourage you to also take up the challenge. It is easy and fun while at the same time is a great way to give back to your community, family, friends, and people you don’t know.
Here’s how it works: 1) Make a commitment to do at least one kind deed each day. 2) Create your own kindness meter account (it’s FREE) on idontstink.com. 3) Log into the kindness meter to look for ideas of kindness. There are 8 tabs of kindness suggestions for you. They are: Everyday, Environment, Office/School, Community, On the Road, Family, Friends, & Self Kindness. 4) Do your one kind deed (or more if you like). 5) Come back to idontstink.com and login to the kindness meter. Add your kind deed to your personal meter and watch both yours and the public meter go up. 6) If something touched you while doing the kind deed, go to the latest blog post and tell us your story. That’s it!
If you are uncomfortable sharing your story on the blog, you can always email me directly at: bill@positract.com.

STINKIN' COOL Video
Yesterday my wife sent me a video link of author Bob Doyle in which he recorded a webinar. It was filled with all sorts of great information and was well worth the time spent watching it. Here is the link if you would like to check it out: wealthbeyondreason. Take a few minutes to watch the entire video. I found myself pausing and then replaying several portions of it. I haven’t ever really listened to Bob Doyle before, other than when he was on The Secret, but I found his webinar very refreshing. I highly recommend you checking it out by clicking here. Then see if what he says resonates with you. I also bookmarked it so I could listen to it again!

90 Days of Kindness – Day 7
This morning I woke up with the intention of practicing forgiveness each hour of the day as part of my kindness today. Isn’t it amazing how the universe responds to your intentions? While eating breakfast I got an email from someone who completely blessed me out. Then, a few minutes later another negative email on an entirely different topic came in. Oh well. I asked for it, I got it!
Today is the launch of a book that I personally recommended. It is from a fantastic author and he is doing something very kind himself. Matt Morris launched his book, The Unemployed Millionaire, with the ultimate goal of feeding 100,000 children in Africa. Now seriously, how cool is that?
Matt is donating 100% of the royalties on this book for this cause. For each book sold, 5 children in Africa are fed. This is just so STINKIN’ COOL! I purchased several copies of it today and suggest you join me by buying at least one yourself. To check it out, click this link now. Thank you!
With kindness and forgiveness,

90 Days of Kindness – Day 4
When I woke up this morning, I was pretty sore from the work done yesterday. I also didn’t feel my best and found it hard to go out and do kind deeds for others. I decided to do something kind for myself, take the day off. So, I spent the day watching football (Go SAINTS! 4-0!) and pretty much doing nothing. Near the end of the day, I decided I could say some prayers for family and friends. You see, kindness doesn’t have to be physical act. A simple kind thought toward someone you love or that challenges you is a kind deed.
With gratitude and peace,

90 Days of Kindness – Day 3
Today I had decided to mow my neighbor’s front yard as my act of kindness. That was before my son sent me a message that they were going to be working on a new stone patio project. So, I chose to go and help them instead.
After a full day of shoveling, leveling, laying stones, tamping and a bunch more activities, I headed home. When I got there, I noticed immediately that my neighbor had mowed my front yard. Now how cool is that?
With love and gratitude,

Kindness Challenge, Day 2
Today I decided to go have lunch by the lake and enjoy the beautful weather. While on my way, I passed a nice sized turtle in the middle of the road. I turned around, put my blinkers on and picked it up moving him well off the road. After I finished eating lunch, I offered to help someone who was picking up wood for a fire later on tonight. Just before leaving, I picked up trash around the site.
After I did these kind deeds, it seemed that my day just got better and better.
With gratitude to everyone doing kind deeds today,
Bill
Kindness Challenge, Day 1
Well, today was a pretty good day for me. I had the mindset to do kind deeds and felt that it was a productive day. What I quickly discovered is that when you are looking for kindness to do, a kindness opportunity will present itself. For example, this morning I was walking up to the club to work out and as I got near the door, I noticed a lady with her hands full coming up from behind me. Easy opportunity for me to stand there, wait a moment and then open the door for her. She smiled and appeared very grateful.
Several times today I also did kindness for myself. I SO wanted a snickers bar in the afternoon but decided to have a piece of fresh fruit instead. At lunch, I really wanted a coke but ordered water instead. I made lots of choices like that for myself today.
You don’t have to look very far to do kind deeds. Don’t forget doing kindness for yourself is just as important as doing kindness for others.
With gratitude and kindness,
Bill
