Kindness is contagious! Studies show if you can do anything for 30 days, you’ll be more likely to continue after the 30 days are over. WE CAN DO ANYTHING FOR 30 DAYS…
The world needs more kind people, personally I cherish kind people. I think with technology and how viral things can go on social media, we are quick to make judgements or negative remarks on others from something we see on the internet. I went to get ice cream last night and as I was waiting in line, I noticed a man in front of me (early 20’s) wearing extremely short shorts with knee high tube socks. In that moment, It hadn’t even crossed my mind to make fun of his outfit or question what he was wearing. Maybe that had to do with how my generation expresses ourselves?! Until I looked back at the group of middle aged men behind me. The expressions on their faces showed disgust and followed with whispers and laughing. At that moment I thought to myself, how sad. The 20 year old kid didn’t notice or hear the whispers and laughs but I did. It didnt sit well with me, I don’t know his story and neither did those men, so why judge his situation or his life. After that I was inspired to share and write this blog post. Kindness is not hard! Yes, we are all human and we all pass judgment on people but thinking it and passing it with gossip are two very different things. So I challenge y’all to join me in this 30 day kindness challenge and you can follow along on my Instagram stories for daily updates. I’ve listed my top 30 below
