I really think that the place to start is to first learn to be kind to ourselves. First cultivating internal "self-kindness" is key. Then naturally we can be kind to others. It's the inside-out approach. Otherwise we may just be kind because we want others to like us or just to feeling better about ourselves. This is very superficial because our kindness is dependent on an external source. Acts of kindness I think really comes from a character of consideration and compassion - an internal source.

This is not just a kindness for her but for everyone else in that part of the store. # Being kind is very easy. Opportunities abound. The hard part is to teach yourself to step out of your minds and tangled lives and to notice the people around you. Once you start noticing the people you will see many chances to be of help to others. ( I was going into a discount store the other day and saw an employee fighting with about a half dozen carts desperately trying to keep any of them from roiling out into the traffic of the busy parking lot. I sprinted 20 yards or so to catch one of his 'runaways' just before it hit a passing car. The amazing part of the story is that I had to 'sprint' past no less than 5 people to do this.

I must say that being kind to others was the greatest kindness I ever did for...myself. Being kind softens the sharp points and hard edges of your life. Simply by being kind to others-and it is simple- my life became gentler and much more beautiful I “became” kind about a decade ago.
