When To Choose Kindness

Do you have people in your life that just set you off? One grimace or aloof gesture from them can trigger a sour attitude from us. The world can be a cold place and people can bring out ugly emotions in each other, but a person can choose to respond to whatever rude situation they encounter with kindness. It takes far more courage to be kind that to be cruel.

Bitterness can overpower someone so much that their motivation is to bring others down to their misery too. If you are faced with a situation with a person at work or home that is making your life difficult or choosing to be petty, vindictive or spiteful, realize that they are the ones who need kindness the most. Even if you are going through a hard time, if you choose to act in kindness you will never regret it. Being kind isn’t easy or always convenient, but the power and influence of kindness can never be underestimated as it has the potential to change everything.
