"Most people think I'm crazy—I'm in a cult called happiness, I practice the religion of kindness, I'm a quack in the pseudoscience of love, I work in the field of unlimited possibilities, my diet is that of knowledge, my orientation is irrelevant, my purpose is growth, my entitlement is freedom, my motivation is joy, my evidence is my success, and my race is humankind—I still haven't figured out the crazy part.” - Drew Gerald

My friend: This is a refreshing link. Thank you for starting it.

“A glass of water has no value on its own, but the moment it quenches the thirst of an exhausted person, it turns more valuable than gold. Be a glass of water and quench the thirst of others. A glass of water doesn’t need any fancy introduction to be hailed important, it doesn't need pomp and ceremony to be seen as significant, it doesn’t need any fancy attire to appear appealing, all it needs to do is be there for the thirsty.” - Abhijit Naskar

“We are most ourselves, the most human, when we unabashedly immerse ourselves in the world with love and hope, gratitude and kindness.” - John Sean Doyle

“Never ever hurt anyone in this journey. We are all travelers and we must carry kindness in our baggage!”
― Avijeet Das

Greetings to all my loyal readers!

Here's something I found in one of my old notebooks - it is a Happiness Pledge but I did not note down the website? You could google it -

Part of the pledge -

I pledge to fill my thoughts with gratitude & kindness

Had a little search - and this may be the Pledge site but there may be others equally worthy of a look -

The Happiness Pledge

Enjoy the rest of your day at the forum!

“Kindness is probably the most underrated human quality. We tend to dismiss it when we come across it and seek out more exciting character traits. But kindness is often a refined form of courage. It brings light and warmth into the world. You should always value kindness when you find it.” - Glenn Haybittle

“We can make a difference in another person's life in any situation we find ourselves in, sometimes by the most seemingly insignificant acts of kindness.” Paul Holton

“You can make people feel good with a smile or a thoughtful gesture. You have that infinite power. Holding the door for someone can change their day. Kind words can change their life.” - Jolene Stockman

This one doesn't specifically mention the word kindness ... but it's still great advice -

Love is the great neutralizer of negativity. It allows us to see pain behind anger, to recognize hidden misfortune behind very public expressions of bitterness and to reach out with kindness and compassion to those who strike out in fear and blame. Love truly does conquer all.

And the purer the love, the deeper the happiness it produces. Pure or perfect or unconditional love is no longer simply an expression of love to a particular person (my mom, my child, my best friend), but is a generalized expression of an internal condition of the soul.
