Let’s make kindness the new black. It takes more energy and effort to be unkind than it takes to be kind, and the rewards and benefits of kindness are so rich. They’re contagious, too. When we’re kind to ourselves, we have the capacity to be kind to others. This creates a ripple effect so that your kindness extends from your acts into the acts of others, and others, and others. There are chain reactions of kindness happening right now, all around us. It’s the one gift that keeps on giving, and it costs nothing. Smile at someone. Compliment them. Hold the door open. Say please and thank you and you’re welcome. And mean it. That’s all it takes, and it gives so much.
This post is part of the “Let there be…” consecutive series of Christmas wishes.
