How Do We Create a Culture of Kindness in This Climate? It Starts at Home.

How Do We Create a Culture of Kindness in This Climate? It Starts at Home.

A letter to the community from Kindhumans co-founder Justin Wilkenfeld

We are in the midst of the most challenging time of our generation. We have seen some of the darkest moments for our health, our environment, and most importantly, the people of the world afflicted by the pandemic, civil unrest, and division. We must remain hopeful and leverage optimism to push through this arduous task of finding solutions to the myriad of problems we face – and often create for ourselves.

Deep down we know the difference between right and wrong, and allow ignorant bliss to shelter us from the truth and impact that our actions have for ourselves, others, and the planet. We are all part of the problem on some level, and we can all participate in creating solutions! Yes we can, and yes, we should!

There is still LIGHT, with positive progress happening daily. There are people out there trying to make the world a better place. These are the people that inspire and foster a culture of kindness and giving that is infectious in the best way possible. Spreading kindness is a thing. It is real. It is powerful. And it is needed now more than ever!

There is still a path forward where we can come together to build on a culture of kindness that has always been a part of our shared humanity. We need each other. We are social beings and need each other to survive. We perform some of our most amazing feats as humans when we work together.

We need to recognize that COMMUNITY is our way forward. “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” We MUST STAND TOGETHER as humans and make a conscious decision to do what is right for the many, not the few. The TIME IS NOW. We all should ask how we can make changes that can help that state of our lives, our communities, our countries, and our world. We are all interconnected and our actions impact those around us in negative and positive ways. Let’s try to reduce the negative impacts and increase the number of positive ones!

Kindhumans was founded to create a hub for a growing community of proactive people working to make the world a better, kinder place. The intentions are to create a business that gives as part of our ethos. We want to help elevate and promote some of the best role models our society has to offer across business, cause, and society that are making a difference in the lives of others. We believe that the goodness in people exists and that if empowered and elevated, we can help grow this positive presence into our shared reality.

This all starts at home. It starts with you, it starts with us. What can we do to make a little difference for the better today? What can we do tomorrow? In the year ahead?

Ask yourself if you are asking enough questions; from the products and services you use to the content you consume. Every choice we make shapes who we are and the impact we make on the world. If we can all take some more time to seek out and know more about what we put in or on our bodies, what the impacts are to our own health, our community health, or the health of the environment we rely on to survive, perhaps we can actually make vast improvements to the human condition and give future generations an even better world to live in. We should all take some time to ask ourselves what we can do to participate in creating a better world. It’s a great place to start – and gives us all a chance to actually make it come true.

With love and gratitude for our fellow humans…
