Kindness heals and uplifts. Choose to be kind, even when it’s not easy. Embrace every opportunity to be helpful and considerate to others.
We never know what someone is going through. A little more patience and understanding can go a long way.

Positively Uplifting Stories | June 2 2025
A traumatized rescued dog’s progress is inspiring millions of people.
Tiki’s journey to overcoming his fears and learning to trust again is melting hearts around the world.
His foster mom, Isabel Klee, is on a mission to rehabilitate dogs in need and help them find their forever home.
With the help of Isabel, Tiki is making progress by leaps and bounds. He is getting stronger and more confident every day.
His transformation journey is inspiring people to be brave and not give up, no matter what.
“When I brought him home, he didn’t leave his crate for days. He didn’t eat, he didn’t go to the bathroom. He couldn’t even lift his head. He was absolutely terrified of human touch. And every single day he gets braver and braver”, said Isabel.
Bicycle Center brings the cycling community together.
At Scenic Routes, bikes are a powerful tool to bring people together. This bike shop is run by Michael Connolly and Jay Beaman, who fix up bikes for free!
This center is committed to promoting cycling and encouraging sustainable behaviors.
It aims to create a space that is centered around community, where everyone is welcome to share their enthusiasm for cycling and engage in initiatives that make a difference.
On Thursday nights, the shop opens for free classes as well, offering lessons on bike maintenance.
“Bike shops can be not very inclusive. And yeah, I was always struck by the way it’s such a welcoming environment”, said Paul Bray, a volunteer.
Young boy’s acts of kindness bring the local community together.
After winning a $275 prize in a raffle, Robin Kefauver donated all of the prize money to others who were struggling financially.
Inspired by his mom’s act of generosity, Carter Kefauver started passing out $5 gift cards to sanitation or postal workers to make them feel appreciated.
The local community also stepped up to support Carter’s mission of promoting kindness.
Over 1,400 members are sustaining the Kindness movement by filling blessing boxes of food and three free little libraries of new books in central Ohio.
“Carter Kindness is an army of many kindness rock stars”, said Carter.
School opens a kindness room to promote positive behaviors in students.
Crim Elementary in Bowling Green, Ohio, has set up a kindness room to foster a culture of kindness and empathy among students.
A kindness room offers a safe space for students to reflect and reset when they’re having a bad day. The students are also encouraged to create tangible acts of kindness, such as writing positive notes or contributing to community projects.
This kindness room is sponsored by the Luken T. Boyle Campaign for Kindness Foundation, a nonprofit created in honor of Luken, who died by suicide in 2017 due to cyberbullying.
The organization is dedicated to preventing cyberbullying and advancing suicide prevention efforts.
“(I wanted) somewhere where they could take all these ideas they have and put them into action. Be intentional with their kindness. So, it really gives them an outlet and a way to truly think of others and the community and things they can be doing to make people’s day better,” said Samantha Boyle, Luken’s mom.
We Appreciate You!
Sometimes it seems like no matter where you turn your attention, there’s something negative facing you. But never forget that to a point, you can choose what you consume. Following positive social media accounts that feature goodwill and people being kind or unselfish, or even just shows and channels that choose to spread hope and positivity.
It might not seem like you’re making a difference, but trust us – every little thing you do that makes someone else feel better counts. And spreads.
Thank you for reading our positive news stories every week! We are so appreciative of our Daily Motivation community. Take care and have a great week.
