Kindness

This is a note from my journal that works as a constant reminder of being kind, something that's very important on my current journey. I share it here because, as simple and silly as it may seem, sometimes finding something simple at the right time can give someone a shift in perspective, and I've found innumerable things on my own path that I'm extremely grateful for.

• Be kind to yourself by attending your needs and forgiving your mistakes.
• Be kind to your children by guiding them, being patient with them and giving them your time and attention.
• Be kind to your partner by being close, listening to them, and setting expectations clear both ways.
• Be kind to your friends by expressing love, giving them your attention and communicating with them often.
• Be kind to your parents by being openly thankful, generous in time and resources, and allowing them to take care of you even if you don't need to.
• Be kind to your clients and co-workers by not assuming they know what you know. Communicate clearly and be patient.
• Be kind to the world by sharing what you've learned, in exchange for having been taught all those things.
