Kindness
kind·ness
What does Kindness mean?
Care in action, given without keeping score. Kindness is love made practical.
Another way of seeing Kindness
Niceness keeps everything smooth. Kindness sometimes makes things awkward: it tells the hard truth, holds the boundary, asks the question nobody else will. And the hardest kindness of all faces inward. Most of us would never speak to a friend the way we speak to ourselves.
Kindness in relationships
The truest measure of your kindness is the tone you use when you're tired. That's the voice the people closest to you actually live with.
Kindness in everyday life
Do one kind thing today that no one will ever trace back to you. Then catch one harsh thought about yourself and rewrite it the way a friend would.
Carry this with you
Be kind on purpose — including to yourself.
