Monday Morning Musing AND Feel Good Moment: The Power of Kindness

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Never underestimate the power of even a little bit of kindness.

 “Once you begin to acknowledge random acts of kindness - both the ones you have received and the ones you have given - you can no longer believe that what you do does not matter.” 

 ~ Dawn Markova

“It is the little things.”  We say it a lot, but do we live it?  What I find more than anything is we discount the little things that we do or we don’t even do them because we feel they are too insignificant to matter.  Yet, I remember when the “Random Acts of Kindness” book first came out years ago.  I remember the tears that I felt stinging my eyes from the “feeling good” I had reading the stories.  The book was filled with such little things...and yet they touched my heart profoundly.  I have a friend who is going through an incredibly challenging time right now.  She called me excitedly because the gentleman in the car in front of her in a drive-thru had paid her dinner bill.  Her story made my heart surge and I felt inspired to write something on my Facebook page that received 8 comments of gratitude.  Who knows what those 8 people then went on to do...hmmm...all from on gentleman who wanted to express a small act of kindness.  I wonder what inspired him to his act of kindness...

feel good moment: in honor of our military

I have always been in awe of our military, my gratitude running very deep.  I was once at an airport, excitedly awaiting a flight to take me to some fabulous, exotic location to do yoga.  There was a military mom saying goodbye to her kids at the gate.  The kids were young, no older than 6 years.  This mom was going to miss out on a year of their life.  When she returned they would be older and different.  She was sacrificing a year of her children so I could have the freedom I so often take for granted.  Today's Feel Good Moment made me cry.  I couldn't help it.  It feels so good that so many people agree with me and honor the military.  Want to know more about this story?  You can read it here.

monday morning musing and feel good moment: kindness

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

The one who challenges you most in life
also needs your kindness the most...

I am not one for absolutes.  Ask my students.  I frequently say, "I would say 'always' to this, but there is 'always' an exception."  Except here.  This one is always true.  The reason someone treats us poorly, does something unkind is always because their inner struggle is something we can't even imagine.  AND in learning to be kind and compassionate to that person, you will grow in ways you can only imagine.  (I know, I wrote a book about what I received from my greatest challenge.)  I want you to take a moment to watch today's Feel Good Moment.  It is POWERFUL for inspiring kindness.  Watch it in its entirety, it is a bit over 5 minutes, I think, and well worth every moment.

monday morning musing: reap what you sow

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

"Who speaks, sows; who listens, reaps."
~ Traditional French Saying

This quote really spoke to me this week. I have been sitting here contemplating what to say about it for awhile. I even looked up "sow" and "reap" in the dictionary to make sure I had the full flavor of its meaning. I have heard it before as I am sure you have. I have always understood it to mean that listening is better than speaking (and I do think that understanding another before trying to be understood yourself underlies a compassionate presence.)

But I have really been focusing on the term "sow". It means to plant a seed. When you speak, what types of seeds are you planting? Are your comments constructive? Are you planting positive seeds? What type of idea will another reap from what you are sowing?

monday morning musing: you are beautiful

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

You are beautiful.
(and pass it on..)

We don't hear it enough and most of us don't even believe it. So let me be one to tell you.  You ARE beautiful.  In fact, you are incredible and amazing, too.  Think of all you do in life, the challenges you have survived, the love you share.  You are a wonderful part of the cosmic soup.  Thank you.

Now, go tell someone who needs to hear it, too.
