"Kindness is loving people more than they deserve." . Joseph Joubert . Joseph Joubert offers a profound definition of kindness that challenges us to extend love and compassion beyond usual measures. This quote suggests that true kindness involves a generosity of spirit that does not depend on what people have earned or their actions but is given freely and abundantly. It encourages us to treat others with a level of grace and understanding that transcends ordinary expectations, fostering a more empathetic and connected community. Let this inspire us to practice unconditional kindness, enriching our lives and those around us by loving without limitation. . #planelypositive #JosephJoubert #Kindness #UnconditionalLove #GenerosityOfSpirit #Compassion #Empathy #Community #Inspiration #Motivation . 👉 Question for YOU: How do you practice extending kindness beyond what is expected, and what impact has this had on your relationships? 👇

💛 The Power of Kindness 💛 My youngest daughter received recognition at her school today for a simple yet profound act of kindness: helping her friend who needed support while on crutches. Her small gesture not only made her friend’s life a little bit easier it also reminded me of how impactful acts of kindness can be. In a world that often feels busy and overwhelming, it’s these moments of compassion and humanity that bring us closer together. Whether it’s helping a colleague, offering a kind word, or simply being there for someone, every small act matters. Let’s take a moment to practice random acts of kindness.

PRACTICE CONTAGIOUS COMMUNITY It doesn’t take much to remind someone they are seen and cared for - sometimes, just a simple handwritten card can make all the difference.

This is Contagious Community: spreading love, hope, and connection in small, intentional ways. In a world that often feels disconnected, small gestures like this create ripples of kindness and foster real belonging. Who in your life could use a little encouragement today?

Be kind in any way

This is not a virtue signal. I’m just stating the obvious, but please correct me if I’m wrong. While phrased differently across faiths, the essence of doing good, not harming others is a core belief and principle of most humans: 1. Old Testament (Jewish): "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God?" - Micah 6:8 2. New Testament (Christian): "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." - Jesus, Matthew 7:12 3. Articles of Faith (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Christian): “We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—“We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.  4. Quran (Islam): “…and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet)." - Quran 4:36 5. Tipitaka (Buddhism): "Avoiding evil, cultivating the good, and purifying the mind, this is the teaching of the Buddhas." - Dhammapada 183 6. Vedas (Hinduism): "This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you." - Mahabharata 5:1517 7. Tao Te Ching (Taoism) "To the good, I would be good. To the not-good, I would also be good – in order to make them good." - Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching 49 8. Sikh (Sikhism) "No one is my enemy, and no one is a stranger. I get along with everyone." - Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Guru Granth Sahib Practicing kindness is a core doctrine, value and/or teaching found in the most influential religious and moral teachings around this blue planet we call Earth. We need to keep kindness our core tenet. I hope the leaders of governments, businesses and religions are in agreement with the importance in practicing kindness for all humans... and all A.I.

People have value. The moment that you think you are better than someone else you fail. we need more people like this. Watch this video link: https://lnkd.in/gBx36R9a

We all need a Heart Shift. If we begin each day with a heart that seeks to be intentional about being of service to someone else, it truly could change the world..but it has to come before CIRCUMSTANCES! If it does not, then most people will never start. If someone wakes up and has a negative mindset because of A or B, or they carried negativity from the previous day etc., we will always make excuses NOT to think selflessly; because we want to be selfish, because we have a right to be angry etc. most people don’t realize that the best way to capture those selfish thoughts is BY HELPING SOMEONE ELSE! Because it causes us to get out of ourselves! That is why I said, we need a Heart Shift!!!! When we make a HABIT out of not letting circumstances get in the way of making it our daily mission to be kind to others and or surprise another person with kindness, then, the HEART STARTS TO SHIFT! But the man In this story is displaying RADICAL acts of kindness! This goes above and beyond just holding the door for someone or letting someone go in front of you in line. The world needs more people who have a heart like this man! #radicalrandomlove #radicalkindness #radicallove #randomradicalactsofkindness #HeartShift
