What is the true meaning of kindness?

It's being selfless, caring, compassionate, and unconditionally kind.

Like love, it takes practice to understand and feel it. We share love
with others through kind acts such as a smile, a nice word, an
unexpected deed, or a planned surprise

But kindness means so much more ...

Kindness can mean different things to different people. The

meaning is in how YOU choose to show it. Be it through empathy,
acceptance, kind gestures, thoughtfulness, the possibilities are
entirely up to you. Kindness might look like being helpful or
showing empathy. It may mean doing nice things without expecting
nice things in return

Kindness is more than being nice.

Kindness goes beyond merely being nice. Think about it - would

you prefer people to describe you to be "kind" or "nice?" There can
be a lack of sincerity in just being nice; there is often a perception
of doing the minimum. Whereas, being kind is doing intentional,
voluntary acts of kindness. Not only when it’s easy to be kind, but
when it’s hard to be.

Kindness is a movement.
Has someone ever done something kind to you and all you wanted
to do after was pay it forward? That’s because kindness is a chain
reaction. It’s a wave that keeps rolling, and all it needs is one person
to start it. One small kind act can cause a ripple effect that impacts
an entire community. If we are all focused on being kind, we are
creating a movement of change. You know that famous "be the
change you wish the see in the world" quote? That quote isn't just
about change, and it isn't only about one person being able to
change their world. It's bigger; it about a movement that can be
started from one person acting with intention.

Kind is love; love is kind.

Think about what love entails and what it means to love someone.
Got it? Well, that’s kindness. It’s being selfless, caring,
compassionate, and unconditionally kind. Like love, it takes
practice to understand and feel it. We share love with others through
kind acts such as a smile, a nice word, an unexpected deed, or a
planned surprise. When we offer these acts to others, we make
people feel good; we pass along hope; we promote peace; we show
the power of kindness.

Kindness is grace.

We are humans, and therefore, we make mistakes. We can be kind

in our response to ourselves and others when those mistakes occur.
This means thinking before speaking, forgiving before seeking
revenge, and thinking about long-term relationships instead of
short-term pride. If we could all remember that none of us are
perfect, we would be a lot kinder to each other. Offer grace, be kind.
