Kindness is a powerful force that can bring about positive changes in our lives and in society. It promotes well-being, positive social behavior, and can help bridge differences.
Let's reach out to those who need it most, give a hug even to those who hurt us, smile even at those who don't smile back. Because the change is in us, now more than ever.
We should treat ourselves kindly because we deserve it, without having to justify it. It can be by buying something we like, giving us a special day or enjoying a nice experience.
At every moment - and often without being aware of it - we are talking to ourselves. And although it is almost always quietly, every word we tell us, and every action we take, are the things that define how much we really love our own self.
As adults we do our part to leave this world better than we found it; however, it is of great importance to create a culture and leave a message to children so that they can continue with this work.
It's said that kindness is like a special pill that doesn't have to be prescribed by a doctor, you don't even have to take it yourself, you just have to give it to others for it to take effect. These are some benefits we get from acting kindly.
I recently read an article about kindness where they mentioned that the currency of the future will not be the Euro, the Dollar or the Yuan, but rather empathy, that ability to relate to each other, to understand what other people's lives are like and to share our story without being judged.
We already know that when we connect with other people from the heart, our happiness increases and we can even transform our lives, but is there a way to make this something that lasts?
It's not so difficult to sit quietly to meditate while we silence our mind and feel a state of relaxation; however, the real challenge is to maintain that stillness, peace and harmony while living in the real world. It is right there when we will realize the true internal work that we have done - or that we still have to do.
There is something beyond the "me, me, me" thinking, and we can come to understand a little better the connection and empathy that we have as human beings through 4 levels of consciousness.
