We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. All it takes is positivity. And positivity is contagious. Positivity seems to have a ripple effect, triggering cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes. It makes people more open, more loving, grateful, compassionate and forgiving. Recognize that your own actions often have a ripple effect that you don't realize. Any time you make an effort
to do something good, you benefit not just the person you help but also those who witness your act. We don't feel elevation from thinking about charity, we feel it from seeing someone do something charitable. So go do something positive. Something charitable Something kind. Anything. Simple deeds have great impact. And sharing it with others creates a ripple effect. So share it. SHARE your positivity here at Facebook.com/BePostiveLV. Upload your photos and videos of random acts of kindness and our team will work to drive engagement and spread your message and encourage incidents of positivity throughout our community. INVITE or challenge others to BePositive when sharing your content. COMMENT on and encourage others who spread positivity. Together, we can make Las Vegas the kindest, most positive city in America.
