BE KIND...

It is so important to be kind... you have struggles, but so does everyone else. It's good to think of others and not always yourself. When you take the "I" out of every single interaction, you become a rich and open person. You are flexible and get to experience more connections and more joy in life. Those who live without the want for human good and give less than they take will be alone in some capacity. It's all about giving, sharing, apologizing, being a big person always - not just to show off who you are. Those who are great people, don't need to show it off... they just are. We're all the same... we all make mistakes, we all get dealt hard breaks, but it's how we handle ourselves and how we treat other people that matters most in this world. The best quote ever is: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou... It's true. Your actions and how you enter a space determine how someone else feels. Yes, we are all accountable for our feelings, but if someone walks into the room with a sour look on their face you will begin your time with them sour-filled. We need to be responsible for what we feel - surely, but we also need to be held accountable for the energy we fill a space with. We each are people. Equal in value, equal in humanity. Don't look someone up and down and expect them to think highly of you. Your judging turns off even the most loving person. If you want love and happiness - truly want it - then give it out whole heartedly and without question. You give what you get and by golly if you choose to give of yourself and nurture and love those around you - you will have such a full beautiful life... Just ask my Mom!
