Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible
- Dalai Lama
There are countless things the world and ourselves could benefit from having more of.
Kindness is one of them.
When we are a kind, we aren't not helping others, we are helping ourselves, too.
There's substantial scientific evidence that being kind makes you -- and others around you -- happy.
In a study conducted by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, psychology professor at University of California, Riverside, students were assigned to do five random acts of kindness per week for a period of six weeks. At the end of the study, the students' levels of happiness had increased by 41.66 percent.
Being kind had a profoundly positive effect on happiness.
