I Believe In Kindness Research Paper

Decent Essays
I believe in kindness, and all that comes with it. I believe that being kind in your everyday life can not only improve your mood, but the mood of those around you. The best part about being kind with others and with yourself is that it's simple and everyone can do it. A kind gestor can go a really long way and mean something special to someone in need of a helping hand. I used to not be so nice to others and more than likely came off as rude and stuck up. Then, last summer I really started to change I saw that by being kind to others I was making a happy life for me that I could enjoy. The reason for this change is my older passing away, my negative personality didn’t help make me or my family feel any better. So, I stared giving compliments.
