One of the most important things I have realized throughout my life has been kindness matters. It seems like such a simple, straightforward concept to grasp, but sadly, it is routinely forgotten in everyday interactions. Without kindness, <\/em>you can have significant personal and professional problems. As the saying goes, \u201cWhat comes around goes around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bingo Theory<\/h2>\n

My mother had a theory I coined \u201cThe Bingo Theory\u201d (The YOU in Business<\/em><\/a>, pg.25). It reinforces the Law of Attraction<\/a>, which states, \u201cwhat you think about you bring about.\u201d My mother took this concept and applied it to winning at bingo.<\/p>\n

This was her thought: whenever she won at bingo, she would share her winnings with her family. Why? She believed that if she gave a part of her winnings, it would not only bring joy to her loved ones, but she would continue to win. You know what? She was right! An act of kindness to her family brought increased success to her on a monetary\/personal level. When I connected the dots, I realized she was onto something:<\/p>\n

Being kind to others is a \u201cwin-win.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Courage and Strength<\/h2>\n

Being friendly, generous, and considerate not only makes the recipient feel good;<\/em> it makes you feel good.<\/em> However, kind people are often overlooked as being weak or easily influenced. This is a misconception.<\/p>\n

Kindness is an interpersonal skill that should be practiced and improved upon throughout your lifetime. Compassion starts with the simple gesture (saying Please\/Thank You, holding open a door someone, etc.). However, to make an impact, kindness must be shown during stressful situations.<\/p>\n

Acts of kindness that have the most impact are those acts that take courage and strength.<\/p>\n
