Reach out in kindness

Imagine going forth in a state of kindness and empathy, rather than in a state of judgment, anxiety, and frustration. Such a state of kindness is not particularly difficult to maintain.

It’s mainly a matter of intention and discipline. Decide to let go of judgment, choose kindness, and be diligent about keeping yourself there.

That’s not to say you must roll over and allow others to take advantage of you. It’s entirely possible to make kindness your initial interaction, while also acknowledging the reality that it won’t always be reciprocated.

Often your kindness will be well received, probably more often than you might think. Other times, it will not be, but even then there’s nothing lost by offering it.

Whatever the case, it will always be well given. So no matter who does or does not benefit from your kindness, benefit will surely accrue to you.

Reach out in kindness, and good results occur. The more you do, the better life becomes for you and those around you.

— Ralph Marston
