KINDNESS


Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty


Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he/she sees all day.


It's a Wonderful Life...do you let the people who touch your life in positive ways know?


Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.- Leo Buscaglia


Why do we have such ease with giving criticism or passing judgment but such difficulty with giving praise?


"When we wish and seek to help others, our attitude is more positive and relationships become easier. We are less afraid and have less anxiety. Otherwise we remain shy and hesitant, and feel the need to take a thousand precautions before we approach people. When our intentions are good, we have greater self-confidence and are stronger. This is how we learn to understand how precious and valuable kindness is."  --Dalai Lama


"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being."  --Goethe


"You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
