There is no accident in kindness.
We see everyday people that are so angry. We see the results everywhere that we turn, war, famine, disease and so much more. It takes so much effort to maintain anger and hatred, to feel that superiority over those around us.
One of the things that I have noticed since my turning from the path of anger and hatred is that kindness is so much easier. Though we may not get the instant results that we love so much from the anger, we do find that the path becomes smoother with kindness.
It is hard when we begin to show kindness because sometimes people try so hard to knock us off that path. But as we move along we can see ourselves in their actions and hear ourselves in their words. We catch ourselves doing the very things that we get angry at others for and we have a choice to get angry with ourselves or show ourselves kindness and love.
The more we intentionally show ourselves kindness and love, the more we can show others kindness and love. We no longer have to fight or argue. We no longer have to be right all the time so we are free to see the beauty in others. In seeing their beauty we can accept them for who they are and they can know kindness.
This intentional act becomes fuel in and of itself. We no longer have to be paranoid of what they may do to us because it no longer matters. We find satisfaction in love and kindness and therefore they cannot do anything to us.
So take some time and look deep into your own soul and love yourself. Show yourself kindness so that you can recharge and show love and kindness to the world.
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.
Wishing you all Health, Wealth and Harmony
