Most people are doing the best they can from their level of consciousness. However, when in a heated moment, we all tend to forget that fact and allow ourselves to feel attacked and in return feel the need to retaliate-to fight back. However, hatred and anger cannot wipe out hatred and anger, only love and understanding can do that. Today, recognize that we are all going through highly emotional times and may not be truly reacting from our higher selves but rather from a place of fear. Today do not wait for an apology from those who you perceive have wronged you. Instead accept the fact that the other person may never change but you can change the way you respond and react. Resentment and seething anger will poison you from the inside. Today, instead of fighting consciously choose to forgive. Forgive the other person for yourself. Let the anger go.Amazingly, sometimes just that choice can change the other person. But, you have to go first. Today do not underestimate the power of kindness-it has the power to change your life and your world. Choose to be kind today.

Just for today, I recognize that the kinder I am to others the more kindness I attract. Divine peace and harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel compassion and love for all people including myself. I forgive everyone for all perceived past hurts and recognize that we are all doing the best we can with the knowledge understanding and awareness that we have right now. I choose kindness in every situation and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
