Why Kindess Matters

Why does Kindness matter? Kindness  starts simply with a smile to greet the day, even though it's subzero degrees out there. A simple act to jump start your kindness day? Warm up the car for the person to leave before you. Don't YOU just love a warm vehicle? Try filling up the car with gas before Monday am, even cleaning the windshield too? I've been the recipient of this so often; and it feels spoiling and divine. :)

There are so many forms of kindness; but it feels even greater for the soul with sharing. While driving in to work, how about letting that car get in front of you? Way less stressful. What about picking up an extra breakfast treat for your fellow cube mate you know is going to be late in the am and did not have time for a nibble of any nutritional sustenance?  I’m talking REAL FOOD – Starbucks concoctions – no matter how good- is often not the fuel we need to wake up the brain.

Why does kindness matter? Well, it is enlightening, enjoyable and addicting. The good endorphins just get kick started! Kindnesses of all sorts makes the world go around. You may find you do your own kindnesses during the day without thinking about them! I’m certain you do. You do the “Kindness” of listening to a stranger’s tale of woe in line at the grocery check-out, make the call to listen to someone that needs your ear, make dinner and share with a family who's funds are low or an infirmed person that is tired of just chicken soup!

 

Kindness acts exists in everyday living activities. Kindness is sharing the goodness of your Positive life with someone that is struggling. It’s donating food, clothing, money, comfort, friendship, time, and ear to listen without anyone else knowing about it?

Why does Kindness matter? Kindness starts simply within oneself, in the heart and grows outward. It helps one bloom, the giver and the recipient alike.

 

Kindness is like stardust. All that glistens is golden!

Kindness helps build respect, compassion and resiliency.  

So how about planting your own kindness seeds to grow this January?

What type of kindness garden would you like to grow? How about relating your own acts of kindness tales to teach someone else why kindness does matter? We all have a tale to tell and share.  As Kindness is sharing – and it all starts with a smile that grows inward to outside and radiates to the world daily. Kindness is a definite bud bloomer.

Let me now how you plan to plant your Kindness garden this January. Remember, it only takes the thought to plant it and then grows with added warmth, love and sharing.
