Sometimes you don't know how lucky your life is. Making people happy who need some cheering up is something I find enjoyable. Just a random smile from a stranger can mean the world to someone.
I work as a cashier most of the time, and that gives me several opportunities to make someone's trip to the store, hour, or even day. I try my best to put on a smile, ask if they need help, and even joke around a little. Making people smile or laugh is a huge reward in my opinion.
The store I work at has some of the best customers ever. I have made several friends working there young and old. Some customers know me by name and they like to toss jokes back at me as I pick on them.
I remember one time I was eating out at a restaurant, and my waitress seemed stressed or upset. She did a great job getting our order and stuff, but she still seemed preoccupied, so my attempt to make her day better was to give her a compliment. I said she had nice eyes. (I wasn't meaning to flirt...) She smiled and seemed happier that she was serving our table.
I know sometimes I can be a jerk to my friends or annoying or whatever, but I also know I do a lot of nice things for them. I clean up after them, pick up the house, buy things...and I don't expect a thank you.
I also realize that they do nice things for me too.
This blog really doesn't have any point except that I enjoy being nice, and I think my goal in life is just to make a difference in other people lives, maybe make them enjoy it more. I want to be the guy that someone comes to for advice. Someone trustworthy.
