This week’s pod, in honour of World Kindness Day on Thursday 13th November, is all About Kindness.

True kindness is not actions, gestures, donations. It is the intention behind them. It flows from your heart, it is your inherent nature.

When we are in survival, competition, proving our worth, seeking favour, we cannot be truly kind because we are seeking a return “in kind,” recognition, social favour. When we are seeking praise, we are giving conditionally, and kindness becomes performative and transactional.

True kindness is both who we are in our essence, at our heart, and a learned, life long practice of generosity and empathy. True kindness needs nothing, seeks nothing, asks nothing, and is freely given.

Kindness heals, kindness creates trust and safety both in our own selves and in the community around us.

Kindness is who we are, not what we do.

See you next week,
