The power of kindness
+++++++++++++++++++
Do you want to make the situation better for everyone involved? Add kindness to it.
Do you want to make beneficial use of your strength rather than merely showing it off? Invest your strength in kindness.
Those who attack you expect you to attack in response. Genuine kindness confounds those expectations and gives you the opportunity to move the encounter in a positive direction.
Cruelty and pettiness come from a place of weakness. Kindness is an undeniable demonstration of strength.
Kindness does not mean you’re letting anyone else take advantage of you. It means you’re setting the agenda, one that’s positive and productive.
Whenever you can, which is almost always, activate the power of kindness. The biggest victory is when everyone wins.
