How can we make a difference?

Posted by: love4 on: June 24, 2009

Making a difference in people’s lives is our biggest challenge and yet it is what people want to do and do more of. I recently returned from a road trip of which I picked-up all my paperwork about Kindness and the challenges we have with it all. Questions that we need to ask ourselves like, How does kindness help others? Who are the people that use kindness as a tool or a way of being. Can Kindness be a market maker? The leader in shifting and changing the world?

We need to appreciate to understand, to value, to love and be compassionate towards each other. How can we experience the big “O.” No, I am not talking about orgasm, I am talking about relationships, about making the connection in making a difference in someone’s else’s life. The art of people includes: Respect, Appreciation, Kindness and Gratitude.

Abraham Lincoln said, “He had toughness, tenacity to move forward, stay engaged and press on.”

How can I or you to inspire others to reach their fullest potential by being leaders in kindness?

When I originally created Heart@Work as a relationship company who would provide consulting services to HR and other relationship based companies, we (my board of directors) came up with a few ideas to spread the word of how Kindness could change a business. Here are a few ideas you can use, as well use our vendors and other articles that will help you make a difference for someone.

  • Give people cupcakes on their birthday
  • Write articles on how Kindness has affected your life
  • Show compassion by giving a smile away, give a hug, listen, celebrate humanity, have empathy and be nice
  • Give a dinner party
  • Be an information hub, like I am here at Thought Leadership
  • Gather like-minded individuals together to facilitate a project
  • Do lunch and learns about how people can make a difference

Remember….
Kindness forges meaningful relationships and connects us all. Paying it forward is giving an act big or small to reach out to another person. It’s a gift that we give to each other. The hardest part for most people is to receive this gift. We need to be willing to receive help, and open our hearts. Brand yourself to be memorable to leave behind a heart warming experience.

Be a Kindness or Make a Difference Merchant!

In the next coming weeks, I’ll be posting people and companies who do good. Stay tuned..

  • World Kindness Day Reminder December 1, 2009
    Genuine kindness, to me, is about being aware. There are opportunities in just about every situation to give that little extra effort and do something kind. But, usually, we are just too darn busy to see them. I am not talking about huge, altruistic acts that may leave the receiver suspicious of your intentions (though these are great too if you are able to […]
