The Importance of Kindness December 27, 2021 – Posted in: Blog, Kindness
With the lead up to Christmas holidays we always like to think about the importance of kindness.
It is said that just by witnessing acts of kindness it “inspires people to be better versions of themselves, and it encourages them to also act selflessly towards others.”(thinkkindness.org).
There is a strength behind being kind to others that, unlike bullying, shows a person is strong and secure enough that they can risk being and being seen as more gentle (blog.shrm.org/blog/kindess).
The power of kindness can be seen in just small acts, such as smiling to a colleague, to the many incredible charitable projects that bring kindness to those in need. Therefore, it is fitting to say no act is too big or too small when it comes to showing kindness to others!
Remember also the importance of self-kindness and ensuring that we are caring about our own health and happiness. “The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.” ― Steve Maraboli
