Bringing a quality of kindness

[Gaer]

How would you bring kindness into your life? Of all the qualities one can attain or inherit on Earth, kindness is truly the most precious. Many reactions can be employed in any situation. Wait a moment and feel kindness from your heart.

To express kindness is a softness from your soul, a tenderness of the heart, a gentleness of the mind. This can beset miracles as other souls are touched by the feelings.

Be aware this moment, of tension in your eyes. Let the eyes soften. Let tenderness flow into your demeanor. Let a slow smile drift across the face. Feel thankfulness. Feel gratitude.

Do anything to help make any person or animal feel happier at this moment. Be gentle with yourself. Let go the frustrations and feel the graciousness from the soul. Feel love. This will manifest in the life.

How do YOU manifest kindness? Please don't make fun of this post. This is serious. The world needs more kindness. Thank you.

I have to agree

I'm not around folks much, living here at the cabin

But

When in town....shopping.....standing in line...I see folks, oftentimes stressed folks
I see it in their faces

My mug ain't one to gaze upon to find softness

But;

Let a slow smile drift across the face.

When I do that
Things happen
Nice things
Conversations occur
Nice ones

aaaaaand...it costs nothing

We all need more of that

Reminds me of yet another poster I created in another century;

I've worked with the public most of my working life. I learned that there are many people who never hear one kind word or even see a smile on someone's face most days. I always took the time to chat with the people I came in contact with. And when I went out, I smiled at people as I walked by. The thing I hate the most about wearing my masks is no one can see me smile at them and I can't see them smile back.

I realized recently that the people who have really touched my life were the ones who were simply very kind to me and I appreciate them very much. Kindness is a great quality.

This topic reminds me of this quote:

Great thread, thank you for starting it.

When I think of kindness it isn’t something I think of as bringing into my life, I think of it as something I can give.

For me to do that I really need to center myself, stay in the moment and really focus outside myself and observe and listen to those around me. By doing so I become more aware of them and more open to what they may need in terms of kindness. When I focus on my desires or needs kindness often falls by the wayside.

Nature or nurture, those aspects of human development come to mind here?

I suppose all have been unkind at some time in their lives, although I agree there are some wonderfully kind people out there, who seem to make a speciality out of it. .
