Nelson Mandela

"Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies."

We all have enemies...  We all have people that we have a hard time forgiving...  We know that not forgiving someone only hurts ourselves in the long run...  But knowing something and doing something are two different things, aren't they?  So hard, so very hard...

Amelia Earhart

"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.  The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves."

We've all heard about paying it forward...  If someone does something kind for you, don't you feel like doing something kind for someone else?  We have the power to change the world one kind act at a time...  If we want...  It's a choice you make to be intentionally kind!

Proverbs 18:21

 18:21

 

 "Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit--you choose"

"Anything you say or do will be held against you..."  Words can be taken out of context...  Be careful!  We all do it...  Say something that you can't take back...  You have the power to help or destroy someone...  Be kind!  We need to be kind!

Desmond Tutu

"Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."

Kind people are popular people...  Kindness is something you can be and doesn't require a lot of money...  Many people are not kind in this world...  So...  You being kind means something...  And if you think that your doing something kind doesn't make a difference then you are wrong...  So...  Be Kind!

Steve Jobs

'Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.  Don't be trapped by...  living with the results of other people's thinking.  Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own voice.  And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

Who are you?  Are you who you want to be?  Everyone is good at something but not everyone is good at everything...  Some people spend their lives copying other people's lives when they should be living their own...  Be the best "you" that you can be.  Not a carbon copy of someone else...

Enemies of the Heart

Do you control your emotions?  Or do your emotions have a control of you?  Are you seething with anger?  Are you green-eyed with jealousy?  Are you greedy?  Do you feel guilty over something?  These are emotions that can break you...  if you don't overcome them...  Choose to overcome!

Your Next 24 Hours

Time is slipping by you...  Every day is another day that you can never get back...  What is the most valuable commodity?  Time!  Time is more valuable than money...  So what will you do with the time you have left?  

Make a difference!  

Be kind to someone everyday with intention...  

Don't do something for someone expecting something back...  That is nothing but an even Steven... Do something kind because it will make you fell good and help someone else out...  Don't expect a good deed back...  Usually good deeds are paying it forward and someone else will do a good deed for you someday...  

Be intentionally kind!  

I just finished reading this book and it reminded me to be kind...
