There’s a reason I have huge disagreements with modern day preaching of KINDNESS. Imagine there’s a beggar on streets who’s kindly asking for some money or food or help, that kindness is not his choice, that kindness is his only way to approach you, that kindness is forced on him because of his situation. I don’t think you should value that kindness at that point, but please choose to help him looking at his situation.
Now let’s pick another situation where a successful person who’s kind enough to give his employees an extra day off at work or some bonus or he chooses to help someone anyway possible under his capabilities without clicking a picture for social media clout. That wasn’t forced on him, that kindness was his choice, that kindness says his upbringing was right & that kindness says his values+morals are in sync with humanity. I value such KINDNESS.
Authenticity. Honesty. Commitment. Consistency. Lightheartedness. Good moral values. Emotional intelligence. A kind and grateful heart. A desire to do and be better.
Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should and let go of what you can. Stay consistent with the way you are. Take chances. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy.
You have to take the good with the bad. Smile when you’re sad. Love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong. But always remember, life goes on.
Every good thing takes time. You can’t rush things. Growth is not linear, but a journey; one filled with challenges and opportunities to push to your destination. No one can do it for you, it’s your journey. And there will be days you’ll want to give up, but you can keep going. There are no shortcuts to get there, so you have to embrace the process.
Think progress, not perfection. Allow yourself to grow in the process. Make room for failure too. Just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Bet on hard work. Abandon impatience. The results will come down when they’re ready. Remember, consistent small steps are way better than just one big step with no further progress.
