A lot of people wish for the world to be nicer and for certain good things to be expected, but one thing is that there are things that you do not have control of. You may not have control about how nice the world at large is, but you have a choice of your own kindness. What you want the world to become, in terms of kindness and goodness, should begin with you. What you do for others is what matters and that is what will form the world around you. If you want to experience a positive change in the world, then it should start with you.
One of the things that I have observed is that every human is built with the capacity to show kindness, but whether they show it or not is a function of choice. More so, no matter the level at which they are, they can be nice and kind to people. Being kind is not a function of the size of your material and physical possessions but it is of the heart. You will be surprised that some very rich people in a neighborhood may not even relate well with their neighbours, talk more of being a blessing to them. Whereas someone who does not have much might be the one to show the most kindness. It only points down to the fact that what you need to be kind is your heart, not your pocket.
It is worthy to note that kindness is not limited to only physical, financial, or material help. In fact, even a kind word, some good pieces of advice, an update you share with someone, and a recommendation, can also be seen as kindness. Anything you do to someone to make them better and to create positive impact for them is an act of kindness. You do not have to wait until you can afford billions before you become kind, be kind from where you are. Someone who cannot extend a hand of kindness from the little that they have may not also be willing to extend when they have much.
It is true that there are times that people may not see your kindness or may not even appreciate it, or they may not even take note of what you do, but it should not stop you from being nice. What you should know is that every good thing that you do and every act of kindness you show will, somehow, come back to you. You do not have to wait for people to be good to you first before you reciprocate to them. Being good is without recourse to if someone is first good to you or not. As a matter of fact, it is when you have fulfilled your own part of kindness that you should expect others to do the same to you.
In any position you are and at any point in your life, always look for ways to create positive impact in the lives of people. You have to understand that position can be temporary, power can even be transient, ranks can come and go, but how you treat people is what will leave a permanent impression in their mind, and will also tell who you are. In the midst of darkness in the world, it is the light that you show that will make the difference. You cannot solve the problem of darkness with more darkness but with light. In the same way, you cannot join others who are unkind, but you need to be different by being kind.
One of the languages that is universally understood by everyone irrespective of their background, race, ethnicity, belief, and status, is the language of kindness - that is your act of goodness. As each day passes, always try to be the reason why at least one person is happy. When you put smiles on the face of someone, it will make a great impact in not just the person but the world at large. Always remind yourself that you are here to solve problems, not to contribute towards creating problems or making the world more complex. The world will remember you for good when you have done good, so let your act of kindness speak for itself.

Great and true words.
If we expect other people to be good and kind first, so that we can then reciprocate their kindness, we may be disappointed, and wait forever.
We need to take the first step toward goodness, and then others will follow, or maybe not, it doesn't matter, it's the act of kindness itself that matters.
I really enjoyed the post my friend🤝🏾
