When Lady Gaga recently told her fans that kindness—not wealth and fame—is what creates harmony in the world she may have been on to something. Research has shown that being kind makes us happier and also is contagious, inspiring others to be kind as well. For example, one such study published in the Journal of Social Psychology linked performing acts of kindness to an increase in life satisfaction.

That’s why as people make their resolutions for the coming New Year, they should make up their minds to commit purposeful acts of kindness every day.

Stuff happens.

Somebody keys your car when it's just sitting there in the supermarket parking lot; you set your briefcase down for a second to blow your nose and it gets stolen; or vandals have picked your house as target practice, and broken all your windows.

You yell out to the heavens, "What is going on? Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?" You're angry, frustrated and hurt. You become paranoid, fearful and distrusting.
