Today is World Kindness Day
Today is World Kindness Day. From the website, "World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. This day, celebrated on November 13 of each year, has the purpose is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. This understanding has the power to bridge the gap between nations" and might I add, within nations. https://inspirekindness.com/world-kindness-day
I have been so moved by the kindness in this world that I've drafted a manuscript called Make Someone's Day, due out in 2021. The book has a large focus on how we can make someone's day in the workplace, where we spend so much of our time, whether in person or remotely. Yet it's a concept so simple and powerful that it can impact each one of us in all aspects of our lives. Every day I try and do or say something that can make someone's day, and am always on the lookout for those opportunities. Some are simple, some more challenging. Throughout the next year I'll be sharing stories and examples of how people Make Someone's Day, and I welcome your stories.
For now, find a chance to be kind to someone today whether it's saying something, doing something, or acknowledging and providing support to someone. There isn't a limit on how much kindness you can bring. Every time you do, you'll feel some pride and feel good for doing so. In this year of the pandemic, the world needs more acts of kindness, not less. Do your part.

4 年I thought every day was World Kindness Day. I guess we need a reminder every now and then.

Great message, Howard, and your picture made me smile... the Southerners are bundled up and the guy from Chicago is in shirt-sleeves! Happy World Kindness Day, and congratulations on the book - can't wait to read it!
