What Would Your Kindness Quotient Be?
We were all taught as children that we should be kind to others. Some of us learned this, and some didn’t. Imagine being so kind that it actually changes your life. It can make you a happier person! How can you become a kinder being? Read The Kindness Quotient by Rhonda Sciortino. It will help you be a better, more relaxed, caring, kind person.
So how can a book change your life to that degree? If you actually do the work and follow the steps, I believe you will be amazed. After reading how to change things, you can evaluate where you are. That way you will know where you need improvement and maybe find areas you shine! It is a scoring system that is very easy to use. It’s nice because it will measure just where you are. Once you know that, you can decide exactly where you want to be.
When I use the word “kindness” you are probably thinking of just being polite to others. Opening doors, smiling and saying hello. Let’s go a step further though. The book explains using kindness in a way so you won’t even bother with another person’s bad thoughts about you. Imagine driving in the car and someone comes into your lane and is screaming at you through their window. They are flipping you off and as angry as can be. How do you usually handle this? Do you retaliate? Do you ignore them but take it home with you? When you get home, do you tell everyone you can find about your negative interaction?
See, when we tell others about our negative experiences, we are spreading hate and ugliness to them. Plus, the more times we tell the story, the more it dwells inside of us and begins to affect our mind and heart. I’m sure you know people that complain all of the time. The only thing they talk about is the negative things happening in their lives. Unfortunately, they seem to be stuck in that rut.
Now imagine having those same negative experiences and smiling or praying for that person. Instead of thinking terrible thoughts or getting into an argument with them. How amazing would it be to just not even let any bad interactions have any kind of effect on you? Believe it or not, it can be done. If you can get to that point, you are going to live a very happy life!
