Kindness as a profession ( and professional kindness)
Wait! Are those two different? I think so. Some make their career from being kind. Others show kindness in a multitude of professions. A kindness vocation can be as simple as the amazing @kindnesscoach or working for someone like RandomActs. It can also be working in a giving/caring role. Teachers are kindness ambassadors. They literally fuel the kindness that is about to ignite the world. The kindness they demonstrate, model & teach is often the first such that some children see in their lives. Much as kindness grows and multiplies when shared, unkindness can become a multi-generational vicious circle. It is hard to be kind or even accept kindness when it is totally alien to you. Teachers have the incredible role of introducing young people to their potential for kindness and they also get to have the immense gift of giving these fledgling “kind people” their first & most consistent dose of kindness. Wow. What an opportunity! Teachers can LITERALLY increase kindness in
