They say, there are three things in human life that are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.
It is really about showing that you care about others, and doing things to help make their lives a little better. If there's one thing I have learnt about kindness, is that it is a conscious decision made by us to be kind. Which means that it is in the doing and not in how we feel.
So here are some easy, impactful, and meaningful ways to be extra kind to the people around us - to show that you love and care for them (no matter who they are, friends, family, or even strangers!)
