There's a lot of talk on social media about kindness and compassion,
And I notice that it's happening as actually kindness and compassion are going down quite dramatically in many of our lives.
And I just wanted to say that to act in ways that are kind and compassionate often takes more courage than we might understand,
And to find the courage as much as you can.
But understand that the cultural shift right now is kind of away from kindness and compassion,
And if we don't want to live in a colder world,
More of us are going to have to step up and personally embody more kindness and compassion.
And it can be scary,
You know,
It can feel like not cool,
You know.
It's surprising,
Surprising how much courage it takes just to maybe stop and give a panhandler money if you feel like you're going to be judged for giving,
Or going over and sitting with somebody who seems in distress,
Because you know,
That person could like turn and scream at you or something.
But maybe they just really need somebody to sit down and ask them if they're okay.
So yeah,
Have courage.
Act in kind and compassionate ways.
And you know,
Really it's the way to self-esteem,
There's so much talk about self-esteem,
But it's actually when we step out and we follow the guidance of our hearts that we will move into true self-esteem.
You can feel it.
As soon as you do something from your heart,
You will instantly feel more valuable,
You will stand taller,
You will feel lighter,
You will be happier.
Yeah.
You know,
I used to know a medical couple and they talked about,
You know,
Going out for dinner on these,
Going for dinner and you have to listen to a drug,
Somebody speak about the drug for 10 minutes and then you get a free dinner.
And I knew that she was actually profoundly uncomfortable and felt worse about herself for going on these things.
But she didn't really have the courage just to say,
I don't want to do that.
You know,
There are many,
We can sell our soul for nothing.
You know,
If we don't pay attention,
We'll sell our souls for very little.
So it's like take your soul back,
Find your true self-esteem,
Find the actions that make you feel more in truth,
That make you feel more of a man or more of a woman.
Then you're on the right track.
Because our data is inner,
The inner data is the most accurate.
And I've said before,
You know,
I came to the point where I felt like my heart was starting to hold up my head and I was standing taller because I was following my heart.
It's a good way to live,
Take courage.
But what's the alternative?
Good grief.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
