Act of "Kindness"🔥

6th January, 2022

What is worth doing is worth doing well.

Kindness simply means being friendly and considerate. In other words it can be seen as showing love or goodness to people. We can also be kind to ourselves and towards others as well. Being kind is a good behavior that is commended by the society. Every human on earth have in one way or the other shown a kind behavior towards another and when this happens, people feel appreciated. It ignites happiness to the receiving heart.

A kind person is friendly and is loved by all; the person shows care and concern and treats people nicely. This act is very importamt in our society today because when we practice kindness towards others or say to ourselves rather, there is this feeling of calmness, we can as well experience a positive mental relaxation. There are people who gets fatigued, stressed or even tired from work and a person giving them just a glass of water can make them feel at home and a relieve in mind no matter how little.

Kindness is so important that when we seek help from others, we present our need in a kind way and the helper through his own kindness which is a reflection of your kindness in question offers to give you whatever assistance you may need. Kindness glows, it like a light that glitz in the dark

With this special character, one can’t get lost or need when the person lacks. The beauty of this act is that it is being spread everywhere to show it. In the church, it makes a heading, in the Mosque, even the traditionalists teach the act of kindness. We are beautifully mad e by God but sometimes when things goes hard and the situation hits us hard, we tend to remove smile on our face. At times like this, we need help someone to talk to and share our problem with; all in search of smile. But when we meet someone who gives a hand and solve our problem, the lost smile comes back and we will feel more lively and confident again.

Wherever we find ourselves, we can show love and kindness to people around us. Not only to humans, kindness can be shown to other creatures around us too. It must not be only to our fellow human being. Even while showing our fellows, do it not because of what you get in return, or because the people or person you wish to show this act won’t appreciate it; do it because it is what you have and who you are.

I can recall so many times I bluntly refused to help a fellow because I knew the gain the person will get from my little help. I had what it will take to help that fellow that day, I still remember; but I didn’t and later I regretted my action because another person gave that help and was properly rewarded.

I realized the feeling of what I said when it was my turn to seek help, that day; it was like the devil hardened everybody’s heart. Even the people I believed would help me and the people I once helped could not rescue me. I knew what I felt that day and am sorry I can’t share the feeling here with you. After what happened, I render help to anyone I see in need without even waiting to ask me of that

Research shows that helping others lead to less stress and happiness. It is a healthy act that has a positive contribution in our wellbeing.

Ways of showing kindness and helping others

Volunteering your time

This can be shown by observing the people around you. In our neighborhood, we sometimes can tell who lives fine and who lives less. Sometimes it is good to spare your time and take a walk/ride to their house, interact with them and know how they are faring. Especially our elderly neighbors who might be facing illness. Making this friendly move is a way of showing kindness, love and concern.

Making donations (money)

Making donations to the needy, charities in our community. This can also be done by fund raising or asking friends for support.

Donating unused items

Sometimes when we get new items, we get rid of the old one. When we change our wardrobe, we can as well donate any unwanted and good clothing to the poor in your community. By this act you can make clothing for a person who can’t afford it.

Being appreciative

Appreciating the good others have done is another way of showing kindness. Saying thank you is so powerful. Showing appreciation is another awesome way of kindness. Whenever we receive a favor, no matter how little or big, saying thank you can make someone feel worthy of helping you. This can be done by just saying thank you or sending text, mail or message. It shows you are happy and the giver will also be happy for you accepting the gift or help.

There are so many other ways to show help and kindness. As we spend this beautiful and brand new year, let make out time to show some kindness to people around us and ourselves too.

Thank you for reading and have a happy new year in good health.
