Its Time! Bring Back Love, Compassion, Kindness and Forgiveness

"You can't live a perfect day

without doing something for someone

who will never be able to repay you."

John Wooden

With all the tough stuff swirling around in the world, now more than ever its imperative we find ways to reach out to one another with compassion, kindness and forgiveness. 

We could all do with a bit of lightness and goodwill.

Begin with You

If you want to feel better yourself, there is no faster way than to extend a hand of kindness to others. As we do unto others, we do unto ourselves too. (Thus the saying 'back at ya.')

Furthermore, you need to extend the same compassion and kindness to yourself that you'd extend to others.  'Do unto others AS you do unto you'--in other words, spread the good stuff all around and don't forget yourself.

If you aren't exactly where you want to be at this stage of your life, relax and regroup. Life is a series of stop and start over episodes in which we're constantly adjusting our path. Be ready to forgive yourself for straying off path and reset your focus. 

Trust yourself to act in ways to make the world and your life a better place. Believe in yourself.

Do Unto Others

Who do you see around you who could use a bit of kindness or comfort? Perhaps its someone you know or perhaps its a stranger who has fallen on tough times. 

Never underestimate how an unexpected act of kindness can give another just the lift they need.

What single act of kindness could you do to make one person's life a little better? Do it today.

"It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble. It's what we know that ain't so."  
Will Rogers

Seek to Heal 'Us Against Them'

“Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.” 
Robert Brault

Where have you developed an 'us vs them' standoff in your life? Are you at a place where you might be willing to reestablish a relationship by extending a hand of forgiveness? 

What can you do to build bridges, begin the long journey to healing old hurts, and rebuild trust with people you care most about?

Who in your life have you recently hardened your heart against that if you softened your stance with you could reestablish a life based in compassion, understanding, forgiveness and love? 

💓Bury the hatchet.

💙Expand your heart.

💚Be a Bigger person.

Life is short. Use your compassion and forgiveness to build bridges and tear down walls. Use your imagination to touch up memories and rediscover the love and good times you previously shared with friends and family who have fallen by the wayside.

"You cannot do a kindness too soon for you never know how soon it will be too late."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
