The power of kindness | Orly Wahba | TEDxStPeterPort

From Dream to Reality: Orly Wahba takes us on a personal journey; from the dream of a young child to change the world through the power of kindness, to the obstacles and challenges that helped her transform it into reality.

Orly Wahba is an educator, entrepreneur, and community activist passionate about inspiring and motivating people to make the world a kinder place. In 2011, Orly founded Life Vest Inside, a non-profit organization with a mission to empower and unite the world with kindness. Through Life Vest Inside, Orly encourages people to embrace the incredible power of giving and recognize that in times of hardship, kindness, like a life vest, keeps the world afloat.
LVI gained international acclaim when Orly’s award-winning film Kindness Boomerang went viral, receiving over 30 million views and counting and eventually landing her a spot to speak at TED2013 on the magic of kindness.

Orly began her career in kindness as a Middle School educator empowering children to embrace unity, build their self-value, and use their power to influence the world for good. As her kindness community grows by the thousands, more people are experiencing the addictiveness in the giving of kindness.

KINDNESS TO ALL.
NOT JUST KINDNESS TO HUMANS BUT TO ANIMALS AS WELL.

This past week I stopped after coming across these types of "kindness" videos, and they all inspired me to be kinder myself as a conscious daily action. So I set out to tell people that I work with some genuinely deserved praise....the look of their face was priceless to see someone recognizing their good nature, talents and humility. It set me on a journey do this as much as possible to as many people as possible daily! Kindness, lets spread it on!

Going into the store hold open the door
For the one behind you maybe in a rush
Don't ignore the others as you did before
Smile when holding door they may blush
With a Smile your likely a friend to score

I can relate
When I met my ex she had nothing
I sold my small home to buy a nicer homes with her
Years later she told me she wasn’t happy and wanted out of our marriage
I couldn’t afford to buy her out
So now at 61 I’m living with my mom and after she got her work comp settlement she bought a nice home and I lost everything
But it’s given me empathy for others so when I see the homeless I give them jackets and food and I’ve worked with Kiwanis to help the homeless
I’ve forgiven her not for her but for me
My whole story has made me realize I get more from helping other people than owning a home

Kindness… a very powerful think that I always have the intent to inject into my work and interactions with people. The world truly is great in kindness. Thank you for this video.

I pray that you don't mind but I shared this video with my group of Believers. It had such a strong message for me and was received such an amazingly positive response.

[dancinina]

It feels like I'm dying I could so desperately use a small act of kindness from someone that knows anything about my reality please

Service as a way of life... is the right way to go... serve and keep serving... give and never stop giving... so important... it is THE most important thing to do...I can't emphasize enough that it wrong to be selfish... be of service at all times...

[DelightedSoul]

Kindness is not a business. True kindness expects nothing in return and should never act with conditions.

[cynthiahawkins]

[cynthiamarble]

Every time there is an NDE, the experiencer says adamantly that they felt totally connected to every soul that has ever been and will be forever.

[rainbowfrogs]

So beautifully spoken and what an even more beautiful message kindness can change everything be kind people be so kind! Spread it like wildfire!

[ATLGRINDER]

This is the one thing that could save the world. It is truly the single most important change we could make. I’ve always said, “we have the ability to make life great for everyone but we choose not to”. I wish this idea could go viral because it could literally save the world if everyone took it to heart.

[PinkYellowGreen]

Being straight forward is the new kindness

[bwambaleeugene]
