I truly believe kindness starts in the mind. It begins with thoughts of what kindness is, how it helps others, and how is beneficial to yourself. Once you think about it regularly, kind words become second nature, then you’ll give to others without a second thought.
It becomes automatic, like a reflex.
When I’m in line at the store, with a cart full of items and someone comes up behind me with only 1 or 2 things, I automatically ask if they’d like to go ahead of me. If someone drops something, I automatically stoop to pick it up. If someone is exiting a door right behind me, I’ll hold the door for them.
I don’t really think about it, I just do it. People are always so surprised that someone is being kind to them. I don’t think they’re used to that. I love seeing their smiles…it’s a great feeling.
What do you think?
