What it takes to be a kind peeson

Anyone can do a kind deed here and there but what does it take to become a kind person? In order to learn how to be kind you have to learn the basics. Become a keen listener and a conscientious observer. Have a sympathetic/empathetic heart and be eager to lend a helping hand. In addition, you have to be generous and sincere. That all sounds pretty easy; and, it is; but, it takes practice to get good at it; and, it may even take some practice to become sincere.

First of all, don’t knock yourself out trying to be nice all of the time. It’s highly unlikely that any human being has ever accomplished that task. Everybody has bad days where they can’t focus on anything other than what makes them feel indifferent, depressed, or angry. They, also, have great days where they can’t focus on anything other than what makes them feel good, happy, or proud.

On the bad days, try to find ways to make yourself feel better; but, remember it’s important not to be mean to anyone else either. On those days, not being mean might be the kindest thing you can do. Keep to yourself if you have to. In addition, if someone needs something from you while you’re basking in your happiness, don’t beat yourself up if you feel you weren’t as attentive as you “should have” been.

There’s no rule that says you have to brush your happiness aside to be kind to others. Enjoy your moment and make up for it later with a kind gesture to accommodate whatever the person needed or to offer another solution or to talk about it. After you get the basics down, being kind will become second nature to you, maybe even first.
