It’s Good To Be Good

Though it may seem way easier and juicier to be negative and mean, being good brings back tremendous returns. I wish people chose the easier path of being nicer to their neighbors. This world will be a much better place. Personally, I think the amount of energy it takes to being anything other than nice, can be put to great use at some non-profit organization.

Folks, do I need to remind us that it costs absolutely nothing to be kind and everything if you aren’t? Let’s think of others this week. What can you do to help someone other than yourself or family?

You don’t have to show off what you can do. We should live for the good of others, and not ourselves. Self centeredness is the root of every strife. The generation behind us is following us with stride, so let’s lead by example. Your kids are watching and learning from you, so set the record straight.

Kill with an act of kindness. When you are at a drive-thru, pay for the car behind you. Get the door for the mother struggling with her stroller. Settle a mis-communication with a friend. Buy lunch for the homeless guy you see on the corner every day. Something so minute to you, can be grand for someone else.

Visit a patient at your local hospital and read to them, or bring them flowers. Bake cookies for your neighbors, say a prayer for a friend. Do a random act, and see how amazing it makes the person on the receiving end feel. Spread the love and make the world a better place.

Feel free to tell us about what/how someone has been to kind to you. Or like a dear friend would say, “share your bright moments.” Let’s keep the circle of love going.

  1. FKH yet again, you strike a chord with me. I’ve found that good attracts good. I love the vibe I get from friends and relative who are truly kind. When we were young and we used to squabble amongst ourselves my Mum would say, ‘be niiiice’ and draw out the word like that. I sometimes say it in my head when I see people wrapped up in negativity, neck veins bulging and hands clasped. I wonder whether they can be happy while making somebody else feel sad. My golden rules are two:

    Do unto others… you know the rest.

    Always do the right thing for the right reason at the right time - and don’t second-guess yourself.

    How far with the impending delivery hon? I’m sure you’re sick of people asking, but we’re all holding our breath… Peace. xx
