WORLD KINDNESS DAY
Today, as we reflect on the impact of kindness in our lives, we want to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and generosity toward Social Promise. Your commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others is truly admirable.
We believe your contributions go beyond mere financial transactions—they embody a special type of kindness that moves through communities and transforms lives.
Your generosity is even more extraordinary because it extends to individuals you may never see or meet. You are making a significant impact on the lives of fellow human beings, and your trust in our mission is both humbling and inspiring.
On this World Kindness Day, we want to share a few insights about kindness that resonate with our mission:
Kindness is Ancient: Humans have evolved to be kind not only to family but also to friends, community members, and even strangers. Kindness kickstarts cooperative relationships, forming the supportive social networks crucial to our survival.
Kindness is Part of Human Nature: Studies show that individuals who exhibit kindness are more likely to gain the respect of their peers and be chosen as leaders. Your acts of kindness contribute to building a better, more compassionate world.
Kindness is Contagious: Your kind acts have a ripple effect. Witnessing acts of kindness increases the desire to help others, creating a positive cycle of generosity and compassion.
Kindness Makes You Happy and Improves Well-being: Your commitment to Social Promise not only impacts others but contributes to your own happiness. Helping others has been shown to make people happier than focusing on self-interest. Additionally, spending money on others brings more joy than on oneself. Expressing gratitude, a fundamental aspect of kindness, improves the well-being of both the giver and the receiver.
Kindness is Good for Your Mental Health: Your acts of kindness also profoundly affect mental health. Spending money on others has been proven to reduce blood pressure, comparable to the effects of blood pressure medication or regular exercise. Kindness actively reduces the adverse effects of stress and reduces social anxiety in the giver, positively impacting mental well-being.
Your commitment to Social Promise is a testament to your belief in the power of kindness to create lasting change. Together, we are making strides toward a more compassionate and supportive world.
Thank you for spreading kindness and playing a vital role in our mission. Your generosity is not only making a difference but also inspiring others to follow suit.
Wishing you a World Kindness Day filled with joy, gratitude, and the knowledge that your kindness is changing lives.
