“If your compassion does not include yourself it is incomplete.”
Jack Kornfield
“No single person can do all the kinds of care that are needed all the time; we each can play a role in supporting each other in different ways, though. Now, go forth and care for each other — and yourself.”
Deanna Zandt
Look around you — a lot of people are in pain right now. Be kind. “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
James Baldwin
“Some people are going to reject you simply because you shine too bright for them. That’s okay. Keep shining.”
Mandy Hale
Listen, a lot of people feel really alone right now and have no idea how to reconnect to others. Whenever you’re feeling really alone, be kind to someone. Your kindness will reconnect you to the world.
Everything feel a little upside down? It’s likely that you aren’t seeing things clearly. Panic, despair, anger, loneliness and even hunger can make you see things a little oddly. Take a break. Breathe.Things will be right side up when and only when you’re feeling better.
If you have a chance to make people happy, just do it. Sometimes people are struggling silently. Maybe, your act of kindness can make their day.
Moon and stars pour their healing light upon you.
Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Be patient. Be kind. The last two will help you with the first two.
Plant Kindness. Harvest Love.
Happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth. Kindness is the new cool.
How can you be kind? Here are a few suggestions. The one that I like a lot is simply not being an asshole. Sometimes, that’s a really hard thing to do.
When you’re in a dark place, you sometimes tend to think you’ve been buried. Perhaps you’ve been planted. Bloom.
It’s not a huge leap to be kind to someone. Most of the time, all you have to do is shut your mouth. 😉
