Words for life's journey

A random act of kindness is:
 “A selfless act performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up an individual… There will generally be no reason other than to make people smile, or be happier.”

How different our world would be if we were all just a bit more compassionate and kind.
So what is it that prevents us? Kindness is free, it never goes bad, it has no sell-by date, we can never get enough of it, and we can never give enough of it.
However, kindness is often overlooked or undervalued. Which is a pity as it takes only a very small amount of it to turn someone’s day from bad to wonderful.

Have a blessed Sunday!

Words for life's journey....

I am free to be, to do, to accept, to reject. I am free to be the wise, loving, kind, and patient person I want to be.

 I’m free to do that which I consider wise – that which will in no way harm or hinder another person. I’m free to do that which will lead me into paths of peace and satisfaction.

 I’m free to decide for or against, to say no or to say yes. I’m free to live in a productive way and to contribute what I have to give to life.
