Kindness as an evolved way of Being

It is my mission to shift the current perspective on Kindness and teach that Kindness is an evolved way of Being, that kindness is only perceived as weakness by the weak, the imbalanced and the insecure (and let’s never lose our compassion for them).

It requires self-discipline and a very strong sense of self-understanding, self-confidence and self-esteem to stay kind to a rude person, to stay outside the negativity of the unkind one, and to not be triggered by it.

Kindness is a sign of a person who has dealt with his inner demons, his insecurities and old wounds, who has done a lot of personal work and has come to a great self-understanding, a deep compassion and wisdom.

“The kinder and more intelligent a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people. Kindness enriches our life; with kindness mysterious things become clear, difficult things become easy and dull things become cheerful.” - Tolstoy

In living a life of excellence and integrity, kindness and compassion have a prominent place. Even in situations where we have to deal with a rude and unkind person, kindness and compassion are the best response. In this way we break a cycle of negativity, a cycle of upset, anger, aggression.

Remember that the behaviour of someone towards you, has nothing to do with you; it is an expression of his/her inner state of mind. Once we see that, once we can look beyond the apparent aggressive words, all we can feel is compassion for their suffering, for their ignorance.

It is my true hope that we can all become role models of Kindness and Compassion for the next generations. That we value Loving Kindness higher than anything else.

When you start planting seeds of goodness, kindness, compassion, empowerment without worrying whether you will get anything back; you live a simple and fulfilled life.

All we have to do in this lifetime, is to share our gifts, our spark, our light and find the joy in that process. That attitude of servant leadership will bring you a fulfilment you could never have imagined.

Even if there is massive scientific proof that Kindness makes people happier, makes employees respect their managers more, makes the givers of Kindness more fulfilled humans, raises productivity at work, makes you live longer, ... We don't need that scientific proof, deep in our hearts, we are well aware of that Kindness is its own reward.

May you be guided by kindness always.

Much love, Barbara
