Inner Beauty: Kindness - by Grace Nunn

​Inner Beauty
Kindness
     Kindness can take you a long way in life. It always feels nice when someone does something specifically for you in order to make you happy. It makes you feel good and it makes the person who was kind to you feel good inside.
     Do you ever take the time to go out of your way for people? I don’t always. We live in a world where everyone is trying to gain from the things that they do. I’m just saying, but you do gain from kindness. You don’t get money or anything, but you feel so good inside, and people notice what you do. They may not comment on your actions, but you shouldn’t stop doing good deeds.
     Like I said in another blog, if you are beautiful on the inside, you can become more attractive on the outside. You will become more attractive on the outside. 
     The exact definition of kindness is “the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.” It means being selfless and compassionate. I like to think of it as a deliberate act. After a while, it becomes second nature. You can’t help being kind!
     How can you be nice to people? That seems like a silly question, but it’s not. We can be nice in so many ways:

• Sit with someone at lunch if they are all alone.
• Open the door for someone if their hands are full.
• Compliment someone on their outfit. Just make them feel good about what they look like. 

     There are so many other ways to be kind to someone. The ones I listed are just basic ones. My point is this: Being kind doesn’t take much time out of your day. It is so easy! You just have to make a point to do nice things. 
     An anonymous quote reads like this: “If you can be anything, be kind.” 
     Make kindness your goal, your dream and your inspiration. Trust me. It’s worth it.
