On kindness

Employ these teachings and watch your happiness increase tenfold, and you will find your woes replaced with an inner peace:

Kindness is a choice, just like everything. Read this twice.

Be kind to others and expect nothing in return. You will never be disappointed.

Love, compassion, and empathy are far greater allies than hatred, disgust, and anger.

Replace pity with acceptance. It’s better for all parties involved.

Forgive and forget makes little sense. Best to forgive and reflect — not on who wronged you, or what has transpired — but on the depth of your own forgiveness.

Relentless pursuit of being “right” is wrong. Let the others have their day, and you shall have yours, too.

Practice your patience at all hours of the day. It’s always being tested anyway, isn’t it?

If possessions mean so much to you, give them away. Seeing those you love in your own clothing will make you smile every time.

Forgive your enemies and wish them well. This is much easier and safer than tightly gripping onto grudges.

Last, humility starts from within.
