Today I am sharing some thoughts on kindness.
You know I have either been involved in, or watched some unkind things happening around me lately. So I thought I would just share this reminder today.
How does it fit in with the FRONT – It’s hard sometimes to stay kind to people or situations that we disagree with.
Nice is pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory, fine or subtle
Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Kindness takes grace.
They are not the same.
And there are benefits to being kind.
Everyone is affected by an act of kindness. Kindness is contagious and you never know just how big of an impact a small gesture of kindness can have.
Kindness improves our quality of life and It brings people together.
One of the unique things I have been thinking to myself about kindness is this: contrary to popular belief, kindness is not weakness. It is the ability to stay nice and considerate even when difficulty arises. It’s not sacrificing your values for another person, or the situation at hand. That is how you maintain your grace and stay kind at the same time.
It does not mean that you agree with, or condone someone else’s position. Simply that you will not trash them for having that position.
Be kind, share a smile.
