Kindness

Never underestimate the impact kindness can have on other people.

Simple and random acts of kindness, sympathy or connection can have a huge impact on someone who is suffering or simply needs support.

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Robin Williams

Demonstrating kindness towards someone else, even to estrangers, has quite tangible benefits not only to the receiver, but also to the giver, including improving our self-esteem, increasing our social connection, and our level of optimism.  Beyond that, it helps to make the world a happier place since one act of kindness can often lead to more.
