A World Apart, A Path Forward: The Power of Kindness in a Divided Era

A World Apart, A Path Forward: The Power of Random Acts of Kindness in a Divided Era

Random Acts of Kindness

Grant Ian Gamble is a best-selling mindful leadership author and speaker. He has over 30 years of experience in leading teams to create innovative customer experiences, building engaged workforces, and developing leaders who prioritize mindfulness in their approach.

“Random Acts of Kindness” became a phenomenon in the 1980’s and ‘90’s, but with the increasingly frantic pace of our lives, its true practice seems to have fizzled in recent decades. I loved the idea of it and saw occasional examples; there is even a Random Acts of Kindness Day in February but how powerful would it be if we adopted Random Acts of Kindness as a daily practice?

I always thought that the idea of randomly extending a kindness to a stranger was a wonderful gesture. When I was in the Australian Boy Scouts, there was a philosophy called “A good deed a day” and when I was a Boy Scout Leader in the U.S. it was, “Do a good turn daily”. This mantra was underwritten by the Scout promise which included “A Scout is helpful,” “A Scout is friendly,” and “A Scout is kind.” These principles inherently encourage Scouts to perform acts of kindness and service as part of their daily lives.

I think at some point this became a part of my every day and I appreciate the Scouting movement being a catalyst for this positive focus.

My premise herein is that if everyone did a daily good deed for another, a random act of kindness, if you will, how might the world turn?

Never in all of human history have we seen the division and seemingly intractable conflicts we experience in today’s modern world. Picking sides seems to be the norm, and working together seems to be the exception. This division is endemic in politics and amplified in the media. It echoes through most facets of our lives. 

I contend that amidst the conflict and division we live in, a simple act of kindness can be a beacon of hope. 

I believe that routinely extending kindness to others will lead to a more compassionate and harmonious society. If this was threaded through the political system, underwritten in the corporate world and amplified in the media, we would see a palpable shift away from the contentious and divided rhetoric toward a more forgiving and inclusive society.

Kindness is more than just a polite gesture; it’s a profound expression of empathy, compassion, and goodwill towards others. And Lao Tzu wisely stated,

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” 

Simply treating all individuals with respect and dignity is an act of kindness. When we move beyond our biases to transcend the barriers between us, we are imbibing the essence of kindness.

This may all sound a little utopian, but I would argue that consciously extending an act of kindness to another on a daily basis will create a habit which will have deep and profound implications over time.

An example I would give is the walks my wife and I go on with our dogs. We walk along the riverfront near our home every morning, and pass other people walking routinely as well. When we moved into this neighborhood we started saying “Hello!” to these random strangers. We were initially greeted with consternation and surprise, but over time people started to acknowledge us back. What’s more, many of the people we see regularly look forward to the friendly interaction.

And maybe this is confirmation bias, but I truly believe we started to see others acknowledging each other as time progressed.

This is just a simple example of how you can integrate an act of kindness into your day, without having to even go out of your way.

Beyond the extrinsic potential of these acts of kindness there are intrinsic benefits for you. For example:

  • Enhanced Well-being: Research has shown that acts of kindness trigger the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone.” This hormone not only promotes feelings of bonding but also reduces stress and anxiety, contributing to overall well-being.
  • Improved Mental Health: Engaging in acts of kindness has been linked to increased levels of happiness and life satisfaction. When you extend kindness to others, you also tend to experience a boost in your own mood and mental health.

There are also some compelling domino effects that come with a concerted focus on extending kindnesses to others. These include:

  • Stronger Communities: Kindness fosters a sense of unity and belonging. When individuals and communities come together to support one another, they build stronger social bonds and a more resilient society.
  • Positive Ripple Effect: Kindness is contagious. When you show kindness to someone, they are more likely to pay it forward, creating a ripple effect of positivity that can touch countless lives.
  • Reduction in Prejudice: Kindness and empathy are essential tools in combating prejudice and discrimination. By treating all individuals with kindness, we challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity.

Simply put, kindness is a message that transcends boundaries and brings people together. Mark Twain once declared,

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

It is a force for good that has the potential to transform our world.

In your journey remember that kindness is a tool you can wield with incredible impact. By embodying kindness and spreading it to others, you are actively contributing to a more compassionate and harmonious world. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi,

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” 

Let’s continue to advocate for kindness and promote its profound benefits, not just through words, but through our actions as well. Together, we can create a world where kindness reigns supreme, and positivity knows no bounds.

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” – Unknown

Please share examples of acts of kindness you have witnessed or given. It may plant some positive seeds for others.

    Rediscovering Free Will: The Power of Autonomy and Self-Determination

    Rediscovering Free Will: The Power of Autonomy and Self-Determination

    Rediscovering Free Will: The Power of Autonomy and Self-Determination

    free will decision making image

    Grant Ian Gamble is a best-selling mindful leadership author and speaker. He has over 30 years of experience in leading teams to create innovative customer experiences, building engaged workforces, and developing leaders who prioritize mindfulness in their approach.

    In the complex tapestry of human existence, the concept of free will holds a prominent position. Victor Frankl, a renowned psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, and Nir Eyal, a prominent author and behavioral designer, shed light on the significance of free will in our lives. Feeling autonomous and self-determined, that we have the power to exercise free will, is a fundamental psychological need that impacts our mental health. While it is easy to feel swept along by the current of life, believing we lack control over our outcomes, we must recognize our inherent ability to direct and redirect our path. Although we cannot change past decisions, the power to shape our current decisions and determine our direction lies within our grasp.

    The Crucial Role of Free Will in Mental Health

    Free will is not merely an abstract philosophical concept; it plays a vital role in our mental well-being. As Frankl emphasized in his seminal work, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” the freedom to choose our attitude towards any given situation empowers us to find meaning even in the face of unimaginable adversity. When we believe that we have agency over our decisions and actions, we gain a sense of control over our lives, enhancing our self-esteem and overall psychological well-being.

    Autonomy and Self-Determination: Basic Psychological Needs

    According to self-determination theory, developed by psychologists Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, autonomy and self-determination are fundamental psychological needs that contribute to our overall sense of well-being. When we experience autonomy, we feel a sense of ownership and control over our actions and choices. This feeling of empowerment boosts our motivation, leading to greater satisfaction and engagement with life.

    Redirecting Our Path: The Power of Future Decisions

    While we cannot alter our past decisions, we possess the remarkable ability to shape our present reality. Acknowledging that our actions today influence the outcomes of tomorrow is the first step towards exercising our free will. By accepting responsibility for our choices, we unlock the potential to create a life aligned with our values and aspirations. Nir Eyal, in his work on behavioral design and habit formation, emphasizes the importance of consciously directing our decisions to shape our desired outcomes. By understanding the triggers and motivations that influence our behavior, we can consciously design our environment to support our goals and aspirations. This proactive approach allows us to break free from the shackles of passivity and assert our free will in carving our own destiny.

    Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

    Viktor E. Frankl, "Man's Search for Meaning"

    Embracing Free Will in Practice

    To embrace free will and cultivate a sense of autonomy and self-determination, we can adopt several practical strategies:

    1. Mindful Decision-Making: Practicing mindfulness enables us to pause, reflect, and make conscious choices rather than succumbing to impulsive reactions. By taking a step back, we can evaluate the available options and consider the long-term consequences of our decisions. 
    2. Goal Setting: Setting clear, meaningful goals provides a sense of purpose and direction. When we establish specific, achievable objectives, we become more intentional in our actions and increase our chances of success.
    3. Taking Ownership: Accepting responsibility for our actions empowers us to learn from our mistakes and make necessary adjustments. By recognizing that we have the power to influence our circumstances, we regain control over our lives.
    4. Surrounding Ourselves with Support: Building a supportive network of individuals who encourage and challenge us positively can provide the necessary motivation and accountability to stay on track with our goals.

    Feeling autonomous and self-determined is a fundamental psychological need that profoundly impacts our mental health and overall well-being. Victor Frankl and Nir Eyal’s insights remind us that despite the challenges and constraints we face, we possess the innate capacity to exercise free will and shape our destiny. By embracing our ability to choose a different path, we allow ourselves to explore a world of other possibilities. 

    The essence of leadership is in the decisions you make. We are free to make any decisions we want, but we are not free from the consequences of those decisions. Choose wisely.

    Unlocking the Secrets of Healthspan and Longevity: A Life Worth Living

    Unlocking the Secrets of Healthspan and Longevity: A Life Worth Living

    Unlocking the Secrets to Healthspan and Longevity: A Life Worth Living

    Dr. Peter Attia’s holistic approach to longevity and healthspan and the power of exercise

    longevity and lifespan

    Grant Ian Gamble is a best-selling mindful leadership author and speaker. He has over 30 years of experience in leading teams to create innovative customer experiences, building engaged workforces, and developing leaders who prioritize mindfulness in their approach.

    As we age, our focus shifts from more immediate issues to more long-term aspects of our journey. A couple of questions we may ponder include: “What do we want to be doing in our later years?” and “What is our plan to exact that outcome?” These are the questions Dr. Peter Attia, a renowned physician focused on healthspan and longevity, asks all his patients. His goal is twofold: to shift their focus towards healthspan and to challenge his patients to prioritize long-term gains over immediate gratification.

    In his best-selling book, “Outlive,” Dr. Attia argues that we have the potential to live not only longer but also better. To achieve this, he contends that exercise is the most potent longevity “drug” we have at our disposal.

    Having worked in the fitness and wellness industry for almost 40 years now, I have seen some wonderful examples of people extending the quality and quantity of their lives. To me, living stronger is as important as living longer, and you can have both with a little investment of time and energy before you reach your latter years.

    Although current guidelines suggest at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five days a week, Dr. Attia believes this is only the beginning. He challenges us to consider what an extra 10 to 15 years of high-quality life could look like. For him, the goal is to function like a fit and healthy 60-year-old at the age of 80.

    To reach our healthspan and longevity limits, Dr. Attia breaks down exercise into four essential components: strength, stability, aerobic efficiency, and peak aerobic capacity.

    Strength: As we age, we lose muscle mass and strength. Preventing these losses is crucial for maintaining function, stimulating bone growth, and lowering the risk of falling and frailty. It is also vital for metabolic health.

    Stability: Strength without stability can lead to injury. Stability involves proper breathing and core strength, which contribute to balance and safe movement as we age.

    Aerobic Efficiency: Aerobic fitness not only increases the likelihood of living an extra decade, compared to sedentary individuals, but also enhances our ability to enjoy life. Healthy mitochondria, fostered by zone 2 (moderate pace) training, are crucial for metabolic health and Alzheimer’s disease prevention.

    VO2 Max: Though often associated with athletes, VO2 max is relevant to everyone. Increasing our VO2 max (peak capacity) through training can significantly improve our quality of life. This does require us to place some stress on our body, but the benefits of this stress are enormous.

    Incorporating these four elements into our lives can make a substantial difference in how we live the rest of our lives. Dr. Attia’s work is not just about extending life but also about enhancing its quality. As he says, “At the outset of this book, it was about a quest for immortality, and I think at the end, it is a quest for a better life.”
