Kindness is a practice of inclining the mind, of intention," writes Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzberg. Do you believe this to be true? It has been demonstrated that human beings are genetically programmed for kindness, yet it must be cultivated too.
If you incline your mind—turn it, train it—to focus even more on kindness, it will magically respond. The more you are able to do this, to lean into kindness, the more often your natural response to others will be one of empathy, caring, and compassion. Kindness is a habit that begs to be grown in a world that is filled with challenges. ©2025, Janice L. Lundy
