The Kindness Project has a blog!

I've been really busy trying to get things in order for us to move. Especially now that we're moving in two weeks instead of four. But I wanted to let everyone know that the Kindness Project has it's very own blog now!

It's beautiful. Stop by if you're feeling down or just need some inspiration!

The Kindness Project

Kindness is a Strength

 About The Kindness Project

Too often kindness is relegated to a random act performed only when we’re feeling good.  But an even greater kindness (to ourselves and others) occurs when we reach out even when we aren't feeling entirely whole . It’s not easy, and no one is perfect. But we’ve decided it’s not impossible to brighten the world one smile, one kind word, one blog post at a time. To that end, a few of us writers have established The Kindness Project, starting with a series of inspirational posts.

For this month's Kindness Project post, I am going to keep it short.

My last post detailed my frustration with my apartment complex supervisor. At the core, I hated feeling like the only way I would get anything done was to be rude.

I feel like this is just a small problem to the larger whole: that we as a culture view kindness as a weakness. 

So I say to you, kindness is never a weakness. Never. Choosing to be nice to someone when you would rather yell at them, choosing to view them as a human being rather than the inconvience in the way of getting what you want is not weakness.

It is a great strength. 

People who are kind to you, who are treating you with respect aren't meek. They aren't doormats. They are perhaps the strongest among us. When the situation is reversed, and someone is treating your kindness like it's an invitation to walk all over you, remember that. 

Your kindness is not weakness. It's a great inner strength.
