Kindness quotes

Being kind is a decision we all make every day. It’s easy to snap at someone or to put them down (in words or in your mind) if they annoy you. It takes discipline to ‘look for the good’ in that person. I once had someone say to me ‘be kind to everyone you meet… because you never know what that person is going through today’. Someone cuts you up on the freeway? Maybe they’re distracted because their child is sick. Someone says something sarcastic and hurtful? Maybe they’re grieving and are lashing out because they are feeling hurt about their loss. Acts of affection, goodwill, consideration, and thoughtfulness don’t cost us anything and can change someone’s day for the better. Don’t act as they would, choose your own response and be kind!

Let’s all remind ourselves that kindness can make the world a better place; ‘Do unto others what you would have them do unto you’. I hope that these Kindness Quotes act as good signposts or reminders for us to ‘be kind’ in our day to day lives. Share them with others and let’s all make someone else’s day just a little better!
