Be Kind, Not Nice
Show Notes

Hey friends!

Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Mirror.

In this weeks episode I wanted to touch on a topic I've been challenged on the past few years and something I feel is important for all of us to focus on.

I'll start with a question, are you nice to the people around you, or are you kind?

I've learned there can be a big difference between the two. 

Being nice is easy and usually involves keeping the peace with people and not necessarily saying the things that need to be said, just to remain comfortable and to avoid confrontation.

Being kind on the other hand requires telling people the truth, even when it's uncomfortable because that's what is best for them.
We often have a choice between the two and I know I personally tend to lean towards just being nice many times because I don't want conflict or I don't want others to think I'm being mean or difficult.

Being kind means telling the truth, even when it hurts or is uncomfortable.

Let's be honest, being nice is easier but being kind is usually what is more helpful to people, and often people prefer that you tell them the truth and help them even if it's uncomfortable in the moment.

Loving people means we care about them enough to get uncomfortable and do the hard thing if it's best for them.

I'm by no means perfect at this, it's something I'm constantly working on and challenging myself in because I want to be the best I can for the people I care about.

Hope something in this episode is helpful or makes you think.

If it is or you know someone who should hear this, please feel free to share it.

Thanks so much for listening, grateful for all of you.

Talk soon, God bless.
