Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Changing For the Better

I have always been quick to judge or to stress about a slow driver or someone who is walking slowly in the mall etc. Since the Sandy Hook shooting I have been making an active effort to Be Kind.

It started with Ben's Bells than continues with pages like this. Now I stop and rethink -  maybe a person is lost in thought or having a bad day.

I try to reach out to strangers more and to be more aware of people around me and what they may be going through. I try to pay attention more. To sit back to breathe and to just Be.

To reach out and make sure to perform an act of kindness, whether it's holding the door or giving a pack of stickers to a little boy in a store. In the end, I feel good about myself and the world around me.

I notice more people being kind to each other. The world moves a bit slower and is filled with more compassion and love. I hope I continue to grow in this direction.
