We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
– Sir Winston Churchill
This world is every shade of color at once. There are dark days and there a bright glorious days. There are days of every color in between.
Recently, there have been some huge disasters in our country and the darkness has felt very thick. But then, there are small, quiet stories that seep out of the destruction. Neighbors giving all they have to help. People from out of town bringing supplies. Strangers coming into town and rescuing other strangers. Small businesses using their food supplies to feed those who have lost everything. Communities rallying to the aid of those less fortunate.
The light in the darkness is us.
It was always meant to be us.
So the challenge this week and of our lives, is how can we bring our color of kindness into the world? It should be in our every moments. Not just with those we love, but also with those we need to understand. If we bring kindness into the world, we make it better. And a better world is great for all of us.
Living a full life begins with kindness. May we fill up our lives and our world with it!
Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now.
– Jack Kerouac
