A simple thing

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.

Change of focus

When our journey comes to an end, what will we wish we had done more of?

I wish I had more money? I wish I’d worked harder? I wish I had a bigger car/house/job/etc? I wish I had created more? Maybe all of them?

Or perhaps, here are some ideas that are often not talked about, I wish that I had loved more? I wish I had been kinder? I wish I had listened more? I wish I had been more understanding?

We spend a lifetime focused on more stuff instead we could focus on more love, kindness, understanding and listening. I wonder what a world would be like if we changed our focus?
