Kind-Hearted
I firmly believe that when you are kind to others, kindness will come back to you, like a boomerang. What goes around, comes around. It doesn’t have to be some grand gesture. Sometimes a simple smile can make someone’s day.
I have never understood how some people can be so rude or mean to others. Especially when they want or need something from that person. So often, the person they are being rude to isn’t even the person who caused the problem in the first place! I make a point to always be nice to people who are making or serving my food (I don’t want any extra “seasoning” in it!), or people that I am trying to get money from, like when I am trying to return an item or get a refund, etc. People are much more likely to help you if you are polite to them.
I have always enjoyed helping people. I have worked for the Veterans Administration for 23 years now, helping my fellow veterans with their disability claims. I also enjoy volunteering at charity events. The VA has an annual event called Stand Down which helps veterans connect with others who have had similar experiences, and provides a comprehensive support network for homeless and other high-risk veterans.

But, one thing to remember, just because you are kind, doesn’t mean you need to be a doormat. If you make yourself a doormat, people will wipe their feet on you. If someone hurts you or takes advantage of you, it’s okay to let them “no”, or even just remove them from your life.
