In the busy world that we live in, we can often look for goodness and kindness in the world, and often be left feeling disappointed by how truly unkind others can be. I know that I have been there! I truly believe in the good of others, and that everyone has something to offer this world. Everyone is unique and brings something special to this world that no one else can. Day to day, the world can often feel like a loud and selfish place. I encourage you to look past the actions of others if they come off as unkind, and to not let this impact the kindness you show the world. If we let others to stop us from being kind due to their own unkindness, we are just decreasing the kindness in the world even more. I encourage you to increase kindness even more in these situations, and to be the kindness that you wish to see. You will be shining a light of love into the darkness that someone may be experiencing. You never know someone’s situation, and what the reasoning behind their actions are. Everyone has a story. I hope that you, Kindness Warrior, never stop being kind, even if the world seems like an unkind place sometimes. These are the times the world needs us the most. Want to see more kindness? I encourage you to be the kindness. It is amazing what being kind can and, not only for those around us, but for ourselves as well. Kindness always wins!

Be Kind and Be You,

Dr. Kennedy
