Kindness goes beyond merely being nice. Think about it, would you prefer people to describe you to be kind or nice. There can be a lack of sincerity in just being nice, there is often a perception of doing the minimum. Whereas being kind is doing intentional, voluntary acts of kindness. Not only when it's easy to be kind, but when it's hard to be. Has someone ever done something kind to you and all you wanted to do after was pay it forward? That's because kindness is a chain reaction. It's a wave that keeps rolling, and all it needs is one person to start it. One small kind act can cause a ripple effects that impacts an entire community. If we are all focused on being kind, we are creating a movement of change. You know that famous "be the change you wish to see in the world " quotes? That quote isn't just about being able to change their world. It's bigger, it's about a movement that can be started from one person acting with intention. Kindness is love, think about what love entails and what it means to love someone. Got it? Well, that's kindness. It's being selfless, caring, compassionate, and unconditionally kind. Like love, it takes practice to understand and feel it. We share love with others through kind acts such as a smile, a nice word, an unexpected deed, or a planned surprise. When we offer these acts to others, we make people feel good, we pass along hope, we promote peace, we show the power of kindness.
