9Honey Life Hacks: How to be more kind to others

When was the last time you were deliberately kind?

When you went out of your way to be nice to a stranger and expected nothing in return?

Not often enough I’m sure.

It feels like the world is a bit overwhelmed with negativity. The news is full of acts of terror, domestic violence and threats of unemployment.

Because of this if someone is kind to you it makes a big impact. 

RJ Palacio wrote a book called “Wonder” (which is now a movie starring Julia Robert’s) which tells the story of a primary school aged boy with facial deformities who wants to fit in and go to a regular school.

My favourite quote from the book is: “The best measure by how much you’ve grown isn’t by inches or the number of laps you can now run around a track, or even your grade point average – though those things are important, to be sure. It’s what you’ve done with your time, how you’ve chosen to spend your days, and whom you’ve touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success.”

I’m not crying. You are.

The book started a movement called Choose Kind.

In this Life Hacks video I give you some ideas on how to perform some random acts of kindness.
