Be kind today. Kind to the people you interact with; you don’t know what they may be going through. Kind to yourself; you definitely do know what you’re going through – give yourself some compassion. Being kind costs you nothing, and can make so much difference in the world.
Be patient with people. They’re complicated and foolish, but probably doing their individual best.
Listen deeply, with your whole attention. You may learn something, and you’ll surely be giving someone something precious; we all want to be heard.
Encourage people. A moment of sincere encouragement can fuel a lifetime of achievement.
Practice being the person you most want to be. It may take time, but we do become what we practice.
Do good in the world. Our humblest efforts, and our smallest deeds, still add up to positive change. It all matters.
Breathe. Exhale. Relax. Do your best, and when you falter, begin again.
