#DareToBeKind

If the goal is to is find people that rise above adversity Gabriella van Rij is at the top of that list. Her starts at the age of 3 when she adopted in Pakistan by a Dutch family. While some may have used their story as an excuse for self-loathing, Gabriella is

using her story to create a movement called #DareToBeKind. At the end of the blog post please listen to our conversation together. She is wonderful and endearing.

This what she has to say about her process:

My process is to learn how to take care of your needs and how to work inwardly on yourself to have a better outcome instead of blaming. My quote is “blame is not the cure, action is”. And I can teach people how they can be better by going using these principles.

Gabriella wants people to learn:

I want the world to care…

To do that means you have to set the example, we think that something we hear on the news does not touch us but it truly does and I explain how through the connection of others it effects us all in the long run, not short term.

Gabriella has 7 points to focus on to make the Dare To Be Kind Movement to work:

• That without wanting to do the work yourself instead of thinking you can hire someone to do the work will not work
• The world is not against you
• Learn to become a good listener
• Stop being reactive
• Don’t engage in the drama of others
• Dare to be kind to self
• Dare to be kind to others
