We’ve all heard the saying “don’t mistake my kindness for weakness,” but I’d like to take it a step further and suggest that kindness actually strengthens you and your life in multiple ways.

Here are seven of them:

1: You can build a support system.

It has almost become a badge of honor to say you don’t “need” someone. Of course it’s true that nobody needs someone. Nobody needs to have a friend or a significant other — but it does improve life in multiple ways.

We all find ourselves going through a tough time every now and then. Maybe you’ve lost a job or ended a relationship. Maybe you’ve gotten sick, or maybe you’ve even lost someone you care about. Regardless of how big or small your challenge is, it’s hugely helpful to have people you’re close to in your corner.

This will allow you to borrow strength from them during hard times and more easily find your way back to happiness.

2: It empowers you to help others.
