#215 Kindness

Bennett’s quote, “Be a little kinder than you have to”, is one of my favourites.

Short and sweet. Undeniably apt each and every day.

Particularly so with today being Random Acts of Kindness Day.

Mindful that so often we do not know what others are going through, acts of kindness (random or otherwise), can be impactful. As expressed by Plato, “Kindness is more than a deed. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It’s anything that lifts another person”.

As previously shared, I appreciate Action For Happiness’ themed calendars (see images below of this month’s Friendly February and next month’s Mindful March).

Each day’s activities - which can be accessed as a print out, on line or with notifications on the app and available in a range of languages - remind us to be Happier, Kinder and Together.

With regards to kindness as well as the positive impact thereof within our communities and our world at large, I love these quotes:

Be it through random or otherwise acts of kindness, how do you lift others and change the world?
