Kindness Works ~ Kindness Makes a Difference

Being Kind to One Another

While it may seem easier to be kind to the people we know, we also carry the ability to show kindness to someone new. We never know what others are dealing with and our generosity, support, or small act of kindness may go a long way. 

Kindness doesn’t always have to include dramatic gestures of care. Simply being polite, using a warm tone, giving a smile, or showing patience or gratitude to a stranger can be enough.

When we take a stand and commit ourselves to making a difference, we’re known by our actions more than our words. When our actions focus on  improving the condition are words criticize we walk with integrity.

I have a one-minute rule. It works like this: when I face an uncomfortable task, I challenge myself to give the task one full concentrated minute.

Four Questions to Answer at the End of Each Day:

  1. What did I learn today?
  2. Who did I love today?
  3. How did I make a difference today?
  4. What was I grateful for today?

These questions provide us with an opportunity to reflect on our day. Each day provides us with opportunities to learn. These opportunities surround us. They come at us through the digital media, friends, and our work. When we love someone each day, we reach out to the other person and leave our ego behind. We become a better human being with each act of love. When we make a difference, small or great, in another’s life, we contribute to building a better society. Opportunities to make difference abound, grab a handful and you’ll be a difference maker. Each day overflows with an abundance of things for which we can express our gratitude: health, family, work, a team’s victory, a good book, good music, you get the idea. Make it a regular practice and you’ll notice a big difference in your being.

Although it’s not classified as a disease, loneliness is prevalent among us in great numbers. It is a silent disease since the lonely have no one to turn to.

It doesn’t take much to make a difference and lighten the load of feeling lonely.

Society is better when people get involved. It doesn’t matter what side they’re on, it’s their involvement that matters because it shows that they care. In a democratic society, the different perspectives are resolved peacefully through voting. What is counterproductive is indifference, not caring, and apathetic attitudes toward life. Whatever your perspectives, get involved, work to make a difference. Society will become better  because you chose to get involved.
