If you ever wonder why I remind people to "create kindness" instead of saying "be a kind person" it's because I don't believe in "being kind".
"Being kind" isn't something that you do. It's an attitude. Attitudes do nothing.
"Create kindness" is a call to action. It's telling you not to wait for the opportunity to be kind, but instead to create that opportunity yourself. It's a practice, not an attitude.
So no, I am not "being kind" when I help someone. I am "creating kindness.".
Try it.
