Want to GROW in Kindness? Here’s how …

Because the day I’m posting this is my birthday, I’m taking the opportunity to do something different… offering you some of my very favorite message from one of my favorite teachers.

These words are from Sharon Salzberg, a wise older woman and teacher, who has spent her life teaching others the skills of awareness and compassion.

Here’s 8 simple ways to be kind:

1.       Think of kindness as a strength, not a weakness

2.       Look for the good in yourself

3.       Remember that EVERYONE wants to be happy

4.       Remember those who have helped or inspired you

5.       Do one act of generosity each day

6.       When others are speaking, listen CAREFULLY

7.       Include those who seem to be left out

8.       Refrain from saying anything not nice about others

Being kind is always a good thing – whether it’s to yourself or others.

I hope you have a fabulous day! Happy birthday to me!
