Listen, it’s pretty simple. If you want to live a happy life, be kind. If you want to have great friends, be kind. Better yet, just be kind.
2020 has been hard, really hard. Be kind. Be patient. The world will be here when you return!
Because we are predispositioned to be kind. When we hear/see kindness, we know it. We feel the weight of the truth. So when they go low, go high. Be kind. It’s the only thing that works.
We are in a stage of blossoming. We are all beautiful. Be kind.
Right now, people are trying to box us in with ideologies and “facts” that may or may not be facty. It’s not hard to suddenly find yourself in a box. Now what? Take a break from social media, the news, read a good book, get out into nature, and breathe. When you feel grounded and more yourself, ask yourself what you believe to be true. Be kind.
For this week, let’s be kind to ourselves and simply enjoy the music. We can leave the judging for someone else.
Be beautiful. Be kind
May the moon and stars bathe you in their healing light. Be kind.
What if you didn’t judge yourself? No, really. What would your life be like if you let go of all those things you hold against yourself? You’d probably have more energy and more joy. Why not give it a try? Be kind to you.
I know it’s hard to hear, but we all die someday. Maybe you will die sooner than those you love. Maybe you will outlive them all. We all end up in the grave. How can we not be kind?
We may be different colors, but we are all the same leaves of the human tree. Reach out. Be kind to everyone.
There’s a lot of repugnant behavior going on now. If you really want to get back at them, be kind. Show your kindness to the world. Let them squat in the mud.
When you shine in your beauty, you cause others to shine. Shine on.
