Kindness comes in all forms. It can be shown in numerous ways; as simple as a smile or a hug or as BIG as your imagination will take you. It's easy to be kind. Truly, it is.
Check out this super awesome-totally heartwarming-have your tissues ready story of how kindness affected one family who thought they were just out to catch a ball game. Completely awesome.
Often times, we get caught up in our own lives and forget how much simple, heartfelt interaction can mean to another person.
Get out there and smile at your fellow beings. Ask them how they're doing and then be fully present as you listen to their response. Tell someone to "Have a wonderful day!" and mean it. Hold a door open for a stranger. Purchase coffee for the person behind you in line. Call and let someone know you have dinner covered for them tonight, then show up at their house with your favorite (or theirs) meal. Offer your assistance when others are in need. Offer your assistance even when it seems like they aren't in need. Compliment someone on whatever it is you really love about them. Express your gratitude daily.
Kindness inspires kindness. If you don't believe me, just give it a try!
What can you do today to make a positive impact in the life of someone else? Each morning as you prepare for the day, ask yourself that exact question. Be intentionally kind. Be generous. Love others.
Tell me, what are you doing to sprinkle kindness wherever you roam? What have others done for you that have left a permanent warm feeling in your heart?
