Kindness

Wow---It has been years since my last post! I have been feeling inspired to write again and share about kindness. I remember growing up and my Mom saying--"If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!" Life is all about choices---Why not choose to be kind? Imagine what our world would be like if everyone chose to be kind on a daily basis... Unfortunately, not everyone is kind in this world...That is why we are at war and there is so much violence and hatred among people. I am often amazed at how human beings treat each other and think it is O.K...On Yahoo the other day I saw a news clip that, young teen girls' mis-treated a disabled boy...Really?! That is NOT O.K...in our society??! We have more power in our minds and actions then we give ourselves credit for... Challenge yourselves the next time you want to fight back or say something nasty to someone...Words can never be taken back and they can cut like a knife...It is not always easy when we have been wronged by someone to not say anything or want to seek revenge...STOP...in that moment and think about choosing kindness... I hope my post today has helped make a difference...Breathe...count to ten...walk away...You will feel better inside for choosing kindness... "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."---Dalai Lama
