Kindness?

Kindness is not only an action to make yourself feel satisfied or accomplished. It is an action to provide another person with the resources they need to succeed, find new opportunities, and discover themselves.

Compassion?

Regardless of a person’s identity, an individual should develop the habit to be patient and understand one another better. 

Gratitude?

Gratitude is the ability to express your feelings and appreciation to thank a person for their 

well being, helpful actions and words.
