Does Being Kind Get You Nowhere?

Dr. Rick Allen, Ph.D – Luis Benitez, who has climbed the Seven Summits
32 times, says that kindness and compassion are essential to overcoming
terrible physical and mental challenges. He often encounters horrible
challenges during his climbs.

With all that is going on today, it’s not always easy to be kind to each
other. Many are living in fear, fear of income, fear of paying the bills, fear
of the spread of the Covid19 virus, fear of loss of family, friends, and
neighbors, insecurity.

Living in such fear causes stress, what psychologists’ term “flight or fight”

I noticed though that even if I am facing a frustrating situation if I stop for
a moment and show a little kindness, I end up feeling better and the other
person tends to reciprocate in kindness returned.

In a moment I’m going to show a little kindness to you and perhaps you
will show a little kindness back, but before I tell you about a wonderful gift
I’m giving you lets talk about kindness and how it can help you start right
now.

You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.” – Pubilius Syrus

You may have heard the saying “nice guys finish last.” People often
believe that being kind means you are weak and can be easily taken
advantage of.

But is this true?

We are taught that behind every smile there is an ulterior motive.

We are suspicious and skeptical of others who are kind to us.

Kindness does not equal weakness. On the contrary, it takes a great
amount of strength to be kind to someone who thinks differently than you
or is slowing you down in some way.

People who perform regular acts of kindness are often more successful,
have more social friends, and are well-liked than those who don’t.

How kindness helps you succeed:

• Kindness increases confidence. Studies show that kindness
increases your self-worth.

• People remember you when you are kind and willing to help
others. It sets you apart from others.

• Kindness creates a ripple effect. One person being kind in some
way spreads to others, who in turn spread kindness. Kindness is
contagious, fostering in more kindness.

• Kindness evokes a sense of trust. In fact, studies show that even
before establishing their own credibility, leaders who are kind and project
warmth are more effective than those who lead by being tough.

• Kindness helps increase employee performance. Being kind to
others makes them happier which in turn makes them more productive.

• Kindness bridges gaps between people. It can reach across
barriers in language, gender, locality, religion, and anything else that
causes people to miscommunicate.

Benitez, Gives as an example, say you see someone limping on the day
you need to reach the next camp. Instead of cursing their weakness and
ignoring the pain, they are in, you stop to bandage their feet so they can
keep up with you.

This is not just being altruistic. If a member of the party lost their ability to
hike, your entire group may have to return to the start. Stopping to help a
colleague ensures you achieve your own goals.

Oh, before I forget I want to give you a link to the gift I promised you. I
have a Planner and short report that I have put together called “The Power
of Kindness” It is valued at $49.00 but free to you. So, what’s the catch?
None really, but if you want to return the kindness pass the link on to a
friend, co-worker, or family member that could also use a little kindness.
I’m on a mission to spread kindness to as many people as I can, and this
will help be able to reach more people with my message of Health, Wealth,
and Inner Peace.

Here’s the link to tell me where to send your Power of Kindness package. https://tinyurl.com/KindnessPk

Of course, you’re not obligated in any way, you can download the gift and
not share it if you like.

Kindness is the secret to a successful and fulfilling life. Always be kind
because your actions have a bigger impact than you realize not only on
you but others as well.

Health, Wealth, and Inner Peace.

Dr. Rick (Spread the Kindness) Allen
