Be Kind: The importance of a smile

After I reached out to someone to today it occurred to me that I am a firm believer and in fact feel compelled to comfort those that are even strangers to me who may be dealing with a tough period of time.

Does it take a lot of effort to reach out to someone? Perhaps, when overcoming any of your own obstacles in your own state of mind but no not really.

A simple message or even a compliment can lift the spirit of someone who may not even be obviously needing it. It’s good to feel good.

You is kind you is smart you is important

Your actions and your words say a lot about you as a person, in fact they make you, you. Does it cost to be kind? Depending on how you’re displaying that kindness it’s mostly a no. Are we always kind? No, we’re human and it’s impossible to be happy all the time. Small things such as a smile can be simple yet effective.

One important thing to remember though is that you can’t always be there for someone. They may not even need or want your comfort and understanding. It’s a simple fact of life sometimes and most of the time it’s best to be respectful and know that you tried. Not everyone wants your help or compassion. That’s okay, you keep being kind.
