Me: So, are you a kind person? Are you generous?
Person: Look, it’s not for me to decide whether I am kind or not. This is for others – that’s their business what they think of me.
Friends, I’m calling a stop to this right now.
Kindness, compassion, sympathy, empathy, generosity, trustworthy, dependable etc – are qualities we should aim to reflect, and we should all know what this looks like in real life.
YOU DECIDE what each of these qualities looks like – and then start living up to it. It’s not hard – you already know what examples of eg kindness include – and there are machines to help you if you’re struggling – just ask ChatGPT or Google.
Don’t leave it to others to decide whether or not you are (insert appropriate human quality here). You control this. And next time someone like me asks you, are you kind? Be prepared to answer definitively and thoughtfully – and you will have my respect 🙂
