Being kind. Of all the lessons I had maybe the most important one. It changes everything. Events, circumstances, people. Every person has their own truth. What is happening, is outside. How we are experiencing it, is in us. The kindness is what can help us, change it, make it easier, more beautiful.
Being kind to one another. “THINK before you speak: is it True? Helpful? Inspiring? Nice? Kind?”
But even more, being kind to yourself. Which is sometimes even harder. We blame ourselves. We call ourselves names. We punish ourselves. Judge ourselves.
Some people have hard time being nice. We all have hard time being nice sometimes. We work harder to be kind to others. We forget about ourselves… We comfort others and blame ourselves for the same thing. But I am You and You are me. My relationship with myself and with you are connected, intervened. Your relationship with me is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.
Be kind. World needs it. I need it. You need it.
