Seven Days A Week.
Kindness.
This has been sitting on my heart since
interacting with the rudest people out at the race track.
It's inspired so much within my heart to change the way I view
others.
I repeat, Kindness.
It's my 2nd most liked word
in my vocabulary now.
It costs, nothing.
Not one single cent, to be kind.
“Kindness is the language that the
deaf can hear and the blind can see”. -Helen Keller.
I mean, how amazing and true is that?
People forget that kindness is free. We
can change the world, one person at a time.
So each day I will be doing something,
from this day forward.
It'll be written on a post it note in
my bathroom where I go first thing, everyday. Seeing and reminding myself
too, be kind.
“No act of kindness, no matter how
small is ever wasted.”
Monday: Compliment someone. Verbally if
you can help it. Tell them you love their shoes, their smile, the way
they wear their hair. Their shirt, their car. Anything, just tell
them. You yourself love to hear this kind of thing don't you? Do it
for someone else.
Tuesday: Pay it forward. Maybe every
week you can't afford to buy someone their over priced coffee like
you are drinking... or help someone with their groceries. But you
could spare the change in your car to donate to the kids out from on
the store. Nothing in return, just give it. It is better to give. My
Pastor just preached on 'One hand full is better than two with toil'-
Craig Groeschel.
Wednesday: Leave a note on someones
car. Wish them wellness and a word of encouragement. Tell them you
hope they have a great day. Sign it with 'Random act of kindness
Thursday: Thankful. Thank someone for
their service. Not just our amazing men/women in military. But a
police officer, fireman, janitor... city workers. They do more than we'll ever
know!
Friday: Fist pump. Yes, fist pump. This one goes in line with Monday, but that's okay, you know why? People NEED encouragement. When my husband tells me he's proud of me for getting up in the morning and going to the gym, (because he knows I'm better because of that), that literally makes my entire day. Tell someone they are doing a good job, that you are proud of them! Fist pump Friday.
Saturday: Share. Share laughs, a good
book, love, kindness. But do it with someone brand new. I love to sit
at the coffee shop and make small talk with a stranger, and make new
friends. I know, this is different... you will actually have to look
up from your phone.
Sunday: A day of rest. Sign off social
media... turn off the news. Enjoy your family, spouse, kids, niece,
nephew. Be present.
Believe that there is good in the
world.
Could you imagine if we all did this,
maybe not exactly this list I've come up with, but something of an
act of kindness each and every day?
Be the change, you want to see.
xo,
Misty
