Kind-heartedness- Something to help the world go round in a more loving way
Definition: having or
showing sympathy or kindness
Synonyms: kind
Kind-heartedness
is a feeling you feel when you are helpful and sensitive to others.
Kind-heartedness
comes naturally to some individuals, while it is a learned trait for
others. I believe that this was innate
for me. I cannot ever remember a time
that I wasn’t kind-hearted.
This is who
I am and how I express that. I believe
that to be effective in the world as a world changer, you must be sympathetic
to the others to whom you share your world with.
Do you see
the same person during your commute, who smiles at you? Is there a co-worker that will check in with
you, just to see how you are? Are you
lucky enough to find an upbeat email that changes your day around? You must know someone who is kind-hearted!
This is not
always easy to be. There are times in
life where you must put aside this, and be the opposite in order to be
effective. I once had a job where I was
able to let my kind-heartedness flow; I was able to express myself fully with
my patients and clients. This is also
the same job where I had to enforce rules and regulations. At first, it was a hard thing to do, pull
away my kind-heartedness and play the rule enforcer, knowing that someone may
not be able to have shelter for the night, or be as comfortable as they could
be, if they had made different choices.
It was my sympathy that was able to ensure that they had food in their
tummies and at least a warm blanket to take with them. It was this kind-heartedness that was able to
welcome them back and shower them with love.
Being helpful and sensitive to others brings a reward of kindness, which
is a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Someone
wise once said, “ Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from
trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness. “ (Dalai Lama) Kind-heartedness is the one of the basis of
friendship, of love, of a happy relationship.
Having a real genuine sense of concern for others, and acting on it only
makes the world go around more brightly.
Imagine if we all started to be genuinely concerned for our fellow
man? Would there be room for bullying,
cheating, exploitation?
How can one
be kind-hearted? Look for ways to make a
difference in someone’s day: A nice
smile, a cute card or even a shoulder to cry on. Just to love on someone in an intangible way
is the best way. Love without having to be right about anything. Be more
considerate- hold open the door, be polite to those who walk by. Listen, and meet the needs of your loved
ones. Treat others as you would want to
be treated. Help them in a tangible
way. Care for them in a way only you
can.

word, a kind look, a good natured smile can work wonders and accomplish
miracles.” ~ Zahid Abas
