@JmuPsychology's Jamie Kurtz says that "not only do kindnesses make people feel happy, but they also trigger a feeling of gratitude, which then just makes you happier! Researchers call this an 'upward spiral'."

If you spread kindness to one person a day, imagine the amount of happiness you would dispense in a lifetime.
