Kindness is defined as the quality of being considerate and caring towards others.
It is an instinctive response we experience when we see someone in distress, however not everyone acts upon it.
We want to help for no other reason than that we can make a difference in someone's life. Kindness is the most powerful spontaneous expression of care in action. It allows the giver of kindness to tap into their innate goodness and offer help to a fellow being, instinctively and with no thought of reward. Understand that kindness matters, as the very act of kindness is generated from the heartsoul which recognizes that we are all one.
Any act of kindness, even the smallest kindness has the ability to change a life significantly. Understand that the impact of kindness is not restricted to the giver and recipient, but extends like an unbounded ripple affecting so many more lives. It has been noted that even witnessing kindness inspires others to emulate it and become kinder people as a result. Most of us have been the recipient of a kind act and can thus attest to how edifying an act of kindness truly is.
Kindness matters as it restores the person’s sense of worthiness because the kind act signifies that the recipient matters. So next time you hesitate to action a kindness remember that it loudly proclaims that the recipient is worthy of care. Your action will cause the recipient to feel affirmed, acknowledged and valued as a person when the rays of kindness touch them.
Thus, any act of kindness released into the world has a contagious and compounding effect that improves society and by default creates a better and brighter future for all of us.
Today accept the challenge of performing a random act of kindness every day and watch how it unleashes a shockwave of goodness into your life.
I trust that these quotes will inspire you to act with kindness in your everyday life and help build a better society. Remember, you can and should make a difference.
An egoist lives in poverty. A kind person lives in abundance - Maxime Lagace
True wealth is reflective of the many true bonds you form with others and the ripple effect of kindness extends your ability to connect with others. An egoist forms no bonds with others as they feel they are superior to everyone else which leaves them the poorer for it.
Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people - Roy T. Bennett
A kind gesture uplifts giver and receiver and can be as simple as a genuine smile. When you extend a kindness, you are effectively saying to the recipient I acknowledge and value your presence and know that you are worthy of my attention and care. So be kind as it always generates a positive uplifting difference to the spirit of another.
Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind: the second is to be kind: and the third is to be kind - Henry James
Kindness is an acknowledgement of our interconnectedness to one another that no barrier can withstand as it elevates the giver and recipient and affirms that we are not alone but are one.
Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see - Mark Twain
Kindness emanates from your heartsoul and the recipient innately recognizes it as such, needing no clarification. Kindness is universally understood as it transcends all barriers, leaving no doubt of its Divine origin.
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness - George Sand
The ability to be kind is seeded in all humanity waiting to burst forth in bloom at your will, becoming. To be kind is only a decision away. So, decide.
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions - Kahlil Gibran
It takes courage, strength and willpower to be caring of others as caring for others leaves you vulnerable as you take the risk of exposing yourself emotionally despite the possibility that you may get hurt. The fear of vulnerability causes most to avoid expressing tenderness and kindness as it takes bravery and determination that the weak-willed lack to choose to be caring and let others into your life not fearfully hiding your true feelings from others.
Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing - Rumi
A kindness is never forgotten by the recipient as it elevates their being and impacts their behaviour with others, thus kindness given has a ripple effect similar to a pebble thrown into a pond.
