“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Each moment of our lives, someone, somewhere, is in need of kindness. And, every day people endure stressful jobs, demanding relationships, and seemingly unbearable burdens. Every day people battle life threatening diseases, face uncertain futures, and struggle to survive. And, each moment of our lives, someone, somewhere, is in need of kindness. And yet, most of the time, we are so involved with our own struggles, that we forget that kindness towards others is the key to healing ourselves and helping to change our world. Today, lead with kindness and let it be your guide. Life becomes complicated and a lot harder when we allow its difficulties to overpower our capacity to love others, to share our compassion, and to show other kindness, instead of judgement and anger. Today, no matter what situation you find yourself in, come from a place of kindness and compassion. In doing so, you are actually changing to the world and your life for the better. Today, choose to be kind, to be compassionate and choose to be love.

Just for today, I recognize that the kinder I am to others, the more kindness I will attract. Divine peace and harmony dwell within me and all around me. I feel tolerance, compassion and love for all people, including myself. Kindness, love and appreciation are the greatest gifts I can give. I give them out them out freely and watch them return to me multiplied. I practice loving kindness for everyone including myself. I am safe. I am loved and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
