I Want You to Give It Away.
You have it. Actually, everyone is capable of giving and receiving it. I won’t keep you in suspense any longer…it’s KINDNESS.
Be it a random act of kindness, or a pre-meditated, well thought out one, it makes no difference, the act of kindness is something to be freely given. The costs vs. value cannot even be computed, because while you may be able to put a price on an actual object related to the kindness, the thought behind it is immeasurable and beyond valuable.
What if you could change the trajectory of someone’s entire day through a simple act of kindness? Would you do it? Do you know what happens in those instances? While yes, you impact the person on the receiving end of the kindness, you also positively impact yourself in the process, because offering kindness feels good. It fills your cup just as much as the person receiving it.
There is a saying, “treat others as you would want to be treated.” Well, why not treat others even better? Kindness does not have to cost anything, it could be a smile, a door being held open for someone else, a compliment to a stranger, or the act of patience when the person in front of you is taking a long time and you are in a rush. Kindness knows no boundaries, and money is irrelevant.
Kindness is a gift, a treasured one. It is one you may not even realize you are missing or need, until someone else offers it to you. It’s not just about paying it forward, but spreading it all around, far and wide. Start small. Start with yourself. Just start, sprinkle it everywhere, and then watch the magic of the kindness ripple unfold.
Today, and always, I offer you an abundance of loving kindness. Take it in, and pass it along. What act of kindness can you spread this weekend?
Make it a great weekend!
xoxo
