Being Kind

 

Being Kind Article Image

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.Dalai Lama

Some days we may not feel like being very nice. We aren’t happy. Our life is hard. We have too much to do. People we thought we could count on have let us down, and we realize that this business of making things happen really does rely on us.

Yes, even on days like that we still need to dig deep and make a conscious decision to be kind. Why? Because kindness comes back to you.

 Kindness is that rare gift that we have to share, that doesn’t cost us a dime. In fact it is one of the few investments that I know of that pays back dividends the more you invest.

A smile is a gift that keeps on giving. In your daily routine just make it a point to smile. Say thank you and please and even if you are greeted with a grumpy response, you have done your best to bring a light to someone else.

When we focus on putting out positive energy, that includes being kind. Being kind does not equal being used, nor does it mean that you tolerate being treated badly because you are supposed to be nice.

Realize that you can be very kind and generate respect. Your kindness needs to be respected. If you are not being treated well by people in your immediate circle, then that needs to be dealt with appropriately. Seek professional help to manage your situation if you or an objective person thinks your situation requires that type of attention.

It is possible to be a better person. We get a new chance every day. If you think you are a lost cause, because you are so negative about yourself or your situation, you are only temporarily lost. There is a power in you that is greater than you realize.

You have the ability to find it and develop it. Being kind is one of the most powerful things you can be!

  • The Relationship Between Humans And Loud Music
    While out walking our dogs with a neighbor on a warm, autumn Sunday morning, we discussed plans for the day. She mentioned she and her husband were going to the theater that evening to hear a New Orleans jazz trombone player and his ensemble. My husband’s ears perked up, as…

  • What is a probate and why do I want to avoid it?
    Many times, clients come into my office stating that they need to have Last Will and Testaments done and at the same time, they tell me they want to avoid probate of their estate after they die. These clients are usually very adamant that they do not want the government to get their assets, they do not want their families…

I remember as soon as my wife was released from the hospital and brought home, Sally was immediately there to get her started on her stroke recovery. How she outlined the exercises times and materials to make it all happen I'll never forget, including the lbs. of rice my wife had to sort through blindfolded to find a key or bolt or some other object as part of her therapy....

Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors. For the elderly, this packaging style can be very difficult to manage, if the person has problems with fine motor or hand coordination and/or arthritis. If you…

  • Do You Have Breathing Problems?
    Do You Have Breathing Problems? I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living.  When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens? The most common reaction to a lack of oxygen is a sensation of panic, because our brain is very smart.  Our brains tell our lungs to respond with small, quick breaths to compensate for the feeling that we do not have…
