Our days are happier when we give people a piece of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

Years from now, someone will ask you what this time was like for you. What will you tell them? How will you share your experiences of this time? Be kind when you speak and everyone will remember your words.
As we start a week that may be filled with all kinds of pressures, remember — you can be the reason someone smiles or frowns. That’s a whole lot of power. Never forget it.
We are a part of a KINDNESS nation. Are you in?
For today, let’s focus on the kindness we give and the kindness we receive.
How can you make your life kinder — to you and everyone you know? It’s an actual question, worthy of real answers. What would it take for you to live a kinder life?
The world is whispering to you ” be kind.”
Be kind to other people.
Be kind to yourself.
Be kind to the world.
Being kind is your natural state of being.
So be kind. Be yourself.
We are all confused and unsure right now. Many of the things that are happening — weather, politics, economy, life — have never happened before. No one knows what’s going to happen next. No one. How can you not be kind?
In these seasons of great change, be kind to everyone, especially yourself.
We are all on a journey through this life. When you are on a kind path, stay there. Keep going. Your life will blossom.
Are you watching the forest?
Or just the trees?
Are you obsessed with every little detail?
Or the overall flow of your big life?
Focus matters. Be kind.
A life well spent is a life filled with joy.
Find your joy.
Laugh. Dance. Play.
Be kind.
