In a work context, almost 5 years ago, I was told:

"You're too nice"

Simple thing to say to someone right?

The connotation however was that I let people get the better of me.

What that person didn't understand then, was that I knew that this was energy requiring of me.

I knew being kind actually takes energy from me, but I did it anyway because I saw the effect it had on others.

A kind word can have a tremendous effect on a person.

I am not always in control of this ability, but I've started to sense people's emotions better and better and react to them.

The feeling I get the most: We all need kindness and am sometimes not aware of it.

Beautiful Sunday post, D.
