Kindness is in such short supply these days. Bad things are happening every time we turn around and instead of reaching out our hands to help, we're pointing our fingers at who "is to blame". Things are going to wrong. We can't stop that. But we can help. We can be kind.

1. "We rise by lifting others."

I feel better when I make others feel better

2. “Kindness if free..”

Kindness cost nothing

3. The wise words of Ali B. Moe.

Seriously, the idea of leading by example for kindness for my children is all the motivation I need.

4. Be kind to the people who need it most.

Sometimes the ones screaming for help are the ones who pretend they don't need it.

5. Mother Teresa had it right.

Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like enough. But I promise it is.

6. Cinderella also had it right.

Kindness is magic

7. It all starts with you.

Sometimes we have to be reminded to be kinder to ourselves.

8. Even on the bad days, kindness comes first.

Give more than you get.

9. Kindness=happiness (for everyone).

Be kind to people.

10. Spontaneous kindness is the best.

Paying for someone's order behind you or leaving an extra big tip just because you feel like it is just as powerful as a planned act of kindness.

11. Always be extra kind

People will question your kindness. Let them.
