It
is so astounding how just two simple words have the potential to change the
world, yet it is so hard to do.Be
kind.One of my favorite quotes by an
unknown person speaks that: “To be kind is more important than to be
right.Many times, what people need is NOT
a brilliant mind that speaks but a SPECIAL HEART that listens.”Kindness is not what we give, how much we
give, or who we give it to, but it is who we are.Many of us, myself included, believe that we
have no power or are too insignificant to make a difference in this world.But we don’t need to eradicate world hunger
or cure cancer to be a difference.When
we detach ourselves of the results of our actions and focus on our giving
nature, we will be freer to form relationships and explore new ways of loving
that we have never imagined.
Many people associate kindness with actions,
but kindness is rather an attitude that manifests itself in deeds.Kindness grows root and sprout in mysterious
ways.It is a magnet that attracts.It makes people want to come in and see what’s
going on.Kindness leads to conversion
more than anything else.I like to
picture kindness as a tiny snowball on top of the hill.As it rolls down, it grows larger and larger,
faster and faster, until it becomes unstoppable.Let us strive to be the tiny snowball on top
of that hill, and be reminded again that: “To be kind is more important than to be
right. Many times, what people need is
NOT a brilliant mind that speaks but a SPECIAL HEART that listens.”
And, yes, about this I am quite sure
that I am right!
You don’t have to take my word for it, just ask Sophia.
