25 ways to self-discovery.
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see”
-Mark Twain
Kindness:
The true meaning of kindness is just like an ocean. The deeper you go, the more layers it reveals. It is a perennial flow of sympathy, politeness and care. Beyond being a virtue, kindness is a feeling, every soul craves for. It is one of the most beautiful things we have among living beings. Kindness appears delicate by nature, but is the strong foundation of every relation existent in today’s world.
My Path to Kindness:
In middle school, I was always an average student. The one, who had high ambitions and no drive to work. Hence, I ended up being jealous of the out-performing students in my standard. However, this thought never crossed my mind that if I work harder, be more patient and accept circumstances as they are, I can succeed. On the contrary, thoughts of jealousy and envy prevailed in my mind.
After a great deal of reading motivational books, daily experiences and “talks” with parents, I landed upon the conclusion that I should have been kinder. To the situations and to the people around me. So, I started practising kindness slowly though, but at least the initiation. Thanks to my inconsistency that it took greater time than expected. But, it was worth it.
Lessons learnt:
The entire process was simply looking at the mirror and evaluating yourself. It struck me that kindness actually infuses happiness and positivity within you. It helped me calm my nerves. Release all the pessimistic thoughts and most importantly treat everyone with a smile. Kindness truly helped me in finding myself.
Be The Kind, Hard To Find:
It’s hard to gauge what people face in their lives.
Struggles, successes, smiles and sorrows.
Hence, kindness is essential while socialising, as you respect the people around and also reflect your politeness. Maybe, at times you would be required to go a mile more, just to do. Remember it’s for your own good!
- Be the kindest person, you know.
- Showcase your kindness, through small acts of affection, concern and friendliness towards your loved ones.
Your life will be brimming full of happiness and positivity.
