Wordless Wednesday…World Kindness Day

 

World Kindness Day is one of my favorite days to celebrate. Of course, this is one of those days that warrants celebrating 365 days of the year. 

 

 

Kindness is one of those traits that often comes and goes in us depending upon our mood or state of mind. But it is always in us, and like other habits, the more you use it the better you get at it. 

 

Whatever possession we gain by our sword cannot be sure or lasting, but the love gained by kindness and moderation is certain and durable.
Alexander the Great



Kindness, like a cup of hot cocoa on a cold night, warms us from our head to our toes. It’s like having a soft blanket wrapped around us when we’re tired.

 

 

A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.
Joseph Joubert**

**(this is one I need to work on)

And, as in many other deeds we try, being KIND often takes a lot of thought. 

 

Something I want to do each day is choose at least one act of kindness to share with someone.  I want to make it a conscious effort.



You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. Ralph Waldo Emerson



And my favorite…

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Dalai Lama

Good morning Kathy. Not sure about the timing of an act of kindness, read the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson and hope it is not too late. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Kathy... I've always loved that quote from the Dalai Lama. It is always possible to be kind. And not just possible but also often costs nothing.

Brian England absolutely!!! It goes both ways. When we can do something for someone, we get something back in return!

Hello Kathy - kindness is a practice that benefits from repeated acts of thoughtfulness.  Over and over.  Then again.

You're right Michael Jacobs the more we practice this, it becomes a habit...it's what we do and who we become.

Hi Kathy:

Kindness Day should be celebrated every day! There are abundant opportunities to be kind, we just have to pay attention and be mindful, and intentional. 

The quotes you shared are wonderful and inspirational, but I particularly liked the Dalai Lama's!

Kathy Streib  I saw this somewhere on the Internet today and had to smile, tell that to 80% of the people on the Globe and especially the ones on FB :)) not as easy to do as some of the quotes you shared. I admit I am a work in progress, Endre

KINDNESS

Imagine a world where kindness ruled.

If only everyone could just love others and let them be. John Lennon is coming to mind.
