If today's society misses something, it surely misses one important element. We all need kindness. We can live a happier life if we daily explore it. 

Kindness is not something we need to search outside ourselves. Because if we do so, we might find disappointment in most cases. Kindness will only come to you if you are willing to find kindness deep within. 

How do you find kindness inside? 

First, you need to think only of how we can be kind to ourselves and those around us without waiting for anything in return. Everything you do must be sincere, with an open heart, and with the conviction that this is the best thing to do. Kindness is easily accessed if we are willing to give it. The more we connect to our true selves, the more we will be willing to act on it.

Why are we always waiting for any reward for our actions? Our brains are formed this way. We are always trying to give it what it asks. But what if our hearts ask for something else? I am sure most of you would say: "When I make decisions with my heart, they are most of the time in contradiction with what my brain wishes."

What if it's not what you truly wish? Did you know that your brain is "constructed" by being influenced by external factors like your environment, the people with whom you grew up, and their convictions and actions?

Your inner self, on the other hand, is connected to the "soul" part of you. Your mind and soul must be in harmony. This way, you can access every part of your being.

This is the key that can ease your journey toward kindness. If you connect to your true self and reward your brain with positive mindful routines, your inner kindness will "awake". Once you discover the kindness in you, you will be able to show it to others.
People often use this saying: "What you give is what you get!" I suggest using instead: "What kindness toward yourself can do, it surely can do to others." 

I always love to look at nature. Nature's elements as a whole have always benefited our emotional well-being. The breeze, the colours, the blue sky, the trees, and the flowers show kindness toward us just by being present for us. While getting close to nature and being in the heart of it, we receive unconditionally all that it offers. We start to feel its kindness. and become aware of nature's positive impact on our lives. We begin to live through its rhythm. 

While we are in the middle of nature, we connect to another part of us, to our inner child that happened to wander for hours through it without wishing to return inside or ask for food. As little humans, we observed the butterflies flying and the bird's song always captured our attention. We played for hours under the infinite sky and observed the wonders of life in detail. 

As little beings, we connect easily to the essence of life. We always felt the joy of life, especially while we were out and about in the fields of grass and wildflowers. As adults, we lose sight of kindness. If we are willing to keep it in our lives, we must do it with intention.

We can only access and reveal the kindness inside of us if we connect to our essence. This essence was kindly offered to us when we came here. Are we willing to allow it to "rule" our world? When we ask ourselves: "Why aren't we happy?" 

We must ask ourselves various questions like: 

1. Did you show yourself some kindness today? 
2. Did you try to access your true essence? 
3. Did you focus on the positive rather than the negative?
4. Did you say a kind word to someone today?
5. Did you make an act of kindness towards someone who needs it?"

We must ask ourselves all these questions above and answer them sincerely. We must try to reflect on what is missing. This daily "questionnaire" is not intended to put us in difficulty.  It must be considered as a positive mindful routine that will benefit you first. Whilst trying to put all the pieces together in our "unhappy life", we will find the word "KINDNESS".

As parents, we always try our best to show kindness toward our children because we wish them happiness, and we know deep down that this is what they need to grow up emotionally healthy. 

Scientists always say: "Where your focus goes, your energy flows." So, if you are willing to follow kindness, it will surely follow You. You will meet kind people and find yourself in life experiences and circumstances that will take you by surprise. Life is built on your actions. Let's all show kindness toward ourselves and others. We will surely experience the wonders of LIFE.
