The Challenge of Being Kind

 

Hello everyone,

The world is slightly topsy turvy right now but we still have control of the way we think and feel. We can get caught up in fear, anger and hate or we can choose a better train of thought for our own greater good.

Kindness heals so many things for people. Believe it or not sometimes just a smile helps lift another person's spirit. 

It is so important that we choose kindness over the alternative negative reactions to others.

It is easy to lash out at others when we are angry or upset over the conditions that we are all facing right now. Whether it is someone close to us or someone we are dealing with in our daily life, it doesn't solve a thing and brings such negativity let alone hurt, and this just adds to the stress of everyday life.

• What if we looked at each human we encounter no matter who they are, as facing the same battles we are?
• What if we said a kind word or did a kind deed for someone around us?
• What if we worked at changing the atmosphere that is fear and hate just by acting out of kindness each day?

We all have a different story and are living a different version of life to anyone else's. Certainly we have to take into account that we have no idea what anyone else is going through and so if we just decide to have compassion for our fellow man and act with kindness in our speech and actions how much do you think we could change the tone of the world. I personally think we could change it dramatically. How about giving it a try? Don't be a follower, be a leader of change for the better by showing compassion and kindness to every person you come in contact with.

It doesn't take much. Open a door, let someone go ahead of you, help someone reach something in a store. These simple kind gestures make a world of difference and they are so easy to do. Let your goodness show in simple acts of kindness.

This is my challenge to all of you "How kind can you be?"

Many Blessings to All

Free Yourself Using Your Thoughts

 

We are so in charge of the direction our thought process take. Just ponder that for a moment and you will realize that one thought follows the other so where are your thoughts taking you and how are they making you feel.

It is a difficult time I know when everything is kind of topsy turvy in the world right now but I would like to have you truly think about what your thoughts are and how they are affecting your well-being and the direction you are going.

We have the choice to zero in on chaos or peace, on love or hate, on joy or sadness. In our lifetime we  have experienced so many happy and lovely times but for some reason we choose to look back at the bad and unhappy ones. 

You really do know how to feel good all of the time just by thinking about good and happy times and feeling what it was like to enjoy life at that moment. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and think about a very happy time you have experienced. That is the feeling that you want for yourself all the time I am sure and it can be very easy to attain if you just keep your thoughts on what is going right in your life and this can be something small but satisfying that brings a feeling of joy.

Keep your thoughts in the best place possible and do not allow yourself to go down a rabbit hole of unhappiness and negativity. Don't tune into anything that would bring your thoughts to a place you don't want to be.

• What if you tuned out anything that would lead you to be negative?
• What if you focused on the most positive thing in your life at this time?
• What if you made a list of all the accomplishments that you have experienced?
•  What if you felt complete peace inside your heart and mind?

Remember thoughts are things so using them to feel good is a start of a very happy and satisfying life. You are in complete control of where your thoughts go so do yourself the greatest favor ever and make a habit of changing every negative thought to a positive one. It does take practice but it is so worth it in the long run.

Be your best by thinking the best thoughts that way you can feel the best. Don't allow anything or anyone to change how you feel about yourself and your life in the most positive and uplifting way.

Many Blessing to All

Consideration

 Consideration: careful thought, typically over a period of time.

I think the key words here are careful thought.

How many of us take the time to think about what we are going to say before we say it? I bet if each of us would consider our words first the world might just be a better place.

• What if we considered other people's feelings?
• What if we took the time to think about what it might mean to someone else if we were more considerate?
• What if we were kinder and more compassionate about people and their circumstances or lifestyle?

Life could be so much easier and much more joyful if people thought before they spoke on so many levels.

We as humans would feel better too. A person cannot feel good about themselves or their lives when they are belittling or criticizing everyone and everything. There is just no way that it can feel good to be constantly using negative words and thoughts towards others.

I would challenge everyone to make your words count for something kind, considerate, and pleasant.

Many Blessings to All

Words Matter

 Word: a command, password, or signal.

Words matter. They are thoughts spoken out loud. We can use them lovingly or harshly it is our choice.

What if we made the effort to you them for kindness?

What if we made the effort to not use them in a hurtful way?

What if we used our words in gratitude and happiness?

What if we used them to point out the good in others?

These are ways to use your words in a meaningful way and because of those small changes life just became better for it.

Many Blessing to All
