Tuesday, April 7th, 2009“Extend thoughts of kindness everywhere. Practice kindness toward Earth by picking up a piece of litter that is on your path, or saying a silent prayer of gratitude for the existence of rain, the color of flowers, or even the paper that you hold in your hand that was donated by a tree. The universe responds in kind to what you radiate outward. If you say with kindness in your voice and in your heart, “How may I serve you?” the universes response will be “How may I serve you as well?” It’s attractor energy. It’s the spirit of the cooperation with all of life that emerges from the essence of intention.”
Dr. Wayne Dyer, The Power of Intention
I love the first words of this quote-“Extend kindness everywhere.” That is a very simple instruction, but as most of life it is not always easy is it? To extend kindness everywhere in the midst of our hectic and challenging lives can be tough, but it can be achieved if we just work hard at it.
Nothing in life worth having comes easy, but the instructions are mostly simple. The instruction of extending thoughts of kindness everywhere is simple. Just start practicing it today. If you find yourself driving in traffic and someone needs to get in-let them in. If you find yourself at the toll booth and someone is behind you-pay their toll too. If you see a teammate that is in need of some kind words-encourage them. Tell your wife you love her and she is beautiful, thank your mom for giving you life, let your kids know you are proud of them, pick up the piece of trash you see in the street instead of walking by, do more than your boss asks you too, help a friend…there are so many thing we can do to extend kindness everywhere, all we have to do is keep it top of mind. So just for today, practice this one simple step and you will make the world a better place. We are kind loving people, and we are doing our part to make a positive impact on the world.
Your servant hearted and kindness spreading friend…cg
