In my contemporary romance, Nora’s Promise, Steph tells Nora “Kindness is a Choice.”
Like Steph, I believe
kindness is a choice that we make in each moment. Sometimes it’s easy to be
kind; other times, not so much! When people around you aren’t kind and/or when
you ingest a steady stream of negativity, it can be a real challenge.
If you focus on the news, the world is all doom and
gloom. We’re a country divided and a people full of anger and hatred. But if
you look beyond the television to your friends, neighbors, and community,
you’ll find a growing trend of kindness and compassion.
Choosing kindness requires presence, intention, and a connection
with your true self, but it’s worth the effort. Your act of kindness, however big or small, has
wide-reaching impacts. It can make the difference in another person’s day,
week....or even in their life. “Constant kindness can
accomplish so much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes
misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”—Albert
Schweitzer.
Today, I invite you to join me in choosing kindness—Offer
a smile, a hug, a kind word, forgiveness, an unexpected visit, a small gift—the
list of opportunities is endless. Your single act of compassion can make all
the difference!
“I alone cannot
change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to cause many ripples.”—Mother
Teresa.

I love this post! I think it's helpful to remember that choosing kindness is a choice. A choice we can make every moment, in the moment. To give people the benefit of the doubt, a smile, or a kind word. If only we could all remember to do it every chance we get!

Hi Joan - Thanks for your comments. I truly believe kindness is a choice, but to your point, we sometimes need to remember to be kind. And when we do, it feels good! :) Sedona
ReplyDeleteLovely post!! Kindness is definitely a choice and once we begin to express kindness where we can, we become happier and radiate from witihin
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Karen, and I couldn't agree more! Kindness not only helps the recipient, but it helps us "radiate from within" as well. That's probably why it feels so good to be kind. Wishing you a beautiful day - :) Sedona
