How to be kind


Think of how good you feel when you make another person smile or laugh, especially if they have had a bad day. Being kind to others is one of the easiest and greatest gifts we can share with those around us. We all learn kindness from watching one another and for whatever reason we seem to loose sense of this as we get older and focus more on our selfish needs.


Getting motivated to be kind is not as hard as it may seem. Instead of keeping your eyes to the ground, look up at some people and smile from time to time. A simple smile is a great way to be known as a kind person.

You can become a kind person by paying attention to everyone around you. Notice the things that they do and compliment them. If you start doing this behavior often, it will catch on and others will start to reciprocate this behavior to you.

Think about all the people in your life that have touched you in some way. Chances are these individuals are kind to you, which is why you wish to keep them in your life. Write down some of the qualities that you like about this person. These qualities are those that make them a kind person, start repeating a few of these nice qualities to others that you interact with each day.

Being a kind person means you are a good friend and you are selfless. People know they can count on you when they are in a bind. They know they can call you for support if a loved one has passed on or they are going through a hard time.

A kind person often is respected by everyone they come into contact with. Other people have a desire to be around them because they know this person is non-judgmental and they will love them and treat them with respect.

Kind people can make even someone in the worst mood smile. It is almost like it is their job to make others happy and cheerful. You don't need to be a cheerleader, but try to approach each day with a positive, uplifting attitude. This will radiate to everyone around you and it can significantly improve their day.

Look for small ways to help others; this is one of the biggest parts of being a kind person. You are the person that is willing to open the door for 15 other people to walk through, even if you never get a "thank-you", you are the person that is willing to help an old lady cross the street even if it means you will be 20 minutes late for work. Kindness is not an easy quality to learn, it takes a lot of dedication and practice.

Being a kind person can introduce you to hundreds of people that may touch your life in some way. Without breaking out of your shell and smiling at them, you may never have had some meaningful life experiences.

Kind people have self-confidence and they are not battered down when others make fun of them or laugh at them. However, a kind person is not one to make fun of others. You need to be the person that steps up and tells everyone else "that's enough" if you notice someone is being picked on.

People that are kind are confident and do not care about the opinions of others. They have enough confidence to know they are a good person and that they are trying their best to make life better for everyone else around them and to make them happy.
