Helping others become even better versions of themselves
The water is cold if we tell ourselves it is. It is, of course, just water.
The mind labels things and makes them so.
There isn’t a good or bad, there just is.
Things are hard, well, they are after we tell ourselves they are.
What we tell ourselves is a choice we alone make.
A life without constant evaluation and labelling is a conscious life of inner peace in this moment now…everything else is an unreality in our mind.
Every day there is an opportunity, well endless opportunities not just one, but we can, if we choose to, take at least one opportunity to lighten up someone else’s path. We all have our struggles and it’s not our judgement, criticism, questioning, or advice others need it is our listening, understanding, compassion and kindness they need.
A hug, a smile, a kiss, a kind deed, a kind gesture, a laugh, a kind word, a compliment, a song, a dance, something that we can do for someone we love or for a complete stranger.
In fact, doing something for a stranger shows we are all just one human race, the one life, a collection of beautiful human souls that are hidden behind our ego’s, judgements, anger, frustration, fear, hate and the lenses of our minds.
A simple act of kindness for a stranger is what makes us human.
