“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in Giving Creates Love.” – Lao-Tzu
To put it simply, kindness in anything creates something positive. This is why it is so inherently important to live our lives keeping kindness to others a priority. By this thinking, when others are kind to us:
- it sometimes helps us find our voice – constructive criticism doesn’t take our feet out from under us but encourages us to try again at something without the fear of failure or judgment
- it sometimes helps us graduate to new levels of understanding about ourselves and others
- it sometimes helps us learn to pass goodness along and act lovingly rather than selfishly or violently; and maybe, just maybe it allows us a glimpse into some of the goodness in this world that we so easily forget when we are surrounded by fear, sadness and negativity

TRUE STORY. It takes a very patient and kind person to weather that kind of situation!
