With all the negative news out there, we can easily become cynical and miss out on all the positive things happening. While bad people will always exist, the good ones far outnumber them. However, you won’t see a lot of feel-good stories on the news, so today, we want to shine the spotlight on 9 selfless people who brought joy and happiness to someone else.

We hope that your faith in humanity will be restored by reading about these incredible humans.

Here are 9 acts of kindness that will make you love humanity again:

This little girl can teach us all the value of giving instead of receiving.

2. The woman pictured in the middle, Ms. Sandy, bought all of these police officers a Subway sandwich for lunch!

Police officers do so much to protect our communities, so it’s nice to give them something in return.

3. You have probably seen these before in a neighborhood near you. Not only do these Little Free Libraries encourage people to read, but they can do so for free!

8. To make sure his blind friend crossed the finish line, the guy in the yellow tied a string to his hand and stayed with him the whole race!

9. You never know; maybe the person behind you is running late or in a hurry to get somewhere – letting them go first might turn their whole day around!

Random acts of kindness can bring much-needed positivity to our world and make someone’s life just a little bit better. Always look around for people who need help, and don’t hesitate to offer your hand and heart; you never know how much your kindness means to them.
