“Impact- You never really know the true impact you have on those around you. You never know how much someone needed the smile you gave them. You never know how much kindness turned someone’s entire life around. You never know how much someone needed that long hug or deep talk. So don’t wait to be kind. Don’t wait for someone else to be kind first. Don’t wait for better circumstances or for someone to change. Just be kind because you never know how much someone needs it.” – Nikki Banas
A kind word does more than bring a smile to someone’s face. It can alter an entire mindset, it can change an entire day, and it can bring a light to a dark phase. Sometimes all we need is a smile, a gesture, or a kind word to raise our spirits. We get one life, why not bring joy to those around you? Joy is contagious, the more you pass it on, the more others will pass it on.
Be someone who cares, be someone who sees the kindness in others, be someone who opens and trusts. I challenge you this next week to do an act of kindness for someone and to compliment a stranger. The world makes it seem easy to throw words of hate around, but what if we just as easily threw words of encouragement around? Every small positive gesture you make towards someone counts. We all battle and struggle with our own demons, kindness is an easy way to show someone you understand. Think of the way we speak to our pets and children, channel that love and compassion and help spread it to others around us. Every small kind act or word can help our culture believe in the good of people again.
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” – Mark Twain
