Hello, and welcome!!!

Thank you for visiting How To Be Kind.

Please allow me a moment to share the beauty that rises from the pen of Kahlil Gibran. Words such as these cast unearthly spells upon whoever reads them. Weaving their way into our hearts, they make the moment profound, and gently nudge us toward a life of gratitude and compassion. One is moved by their beauty, and finds joy in their wisdom. They are truly a gift.

“I slept and I dreamed that all life is joy.  
I woke and I saw that life is all service.
I served and I saw that service is all joy.”                    

How To Be Kind is a service. It asks for and requires nothing. It simply is what it’s intended to be; a source of joy and inspiration not only for those who read its pages, but for those who write them as well. It is a collection of well-placed words that fuel the compassion of kind and generous souls.

You already know how to be kind!

Yet, perhaps the chaotic demands of a busy world have stolen much of your time, and opportunities for kindness have been swept away with the remains of a difficult day.

It’s OK. You’re not alone, and today is still a wonderful day to be kind.

As your journey here takes you deep within the heart of kindness, you will find abundant reasons to share your joy and compassion, to lovingly touch the lives of others, and to graciously remember that endless opportunities for gratitude are yours every day.

HTBK is a source of encouragement to stir the spirits of others, and to go first in demonstrating insight, forgiveness, generosity, kindness and love.

It is inspiration to share your love with others, not because you want to be loved in return, but because you have great love to give, and at any moment of our lives, someone, somewhere, is in need of kindness.

Choose to be kind. Change the world. It’s as simple as a warm, caring smile, and there will never be a better moment than this one, to begin.

It begins with you!
