10 Things I think we need more of in the world:
- Kindness
- Forgiveness
- Faith
- Positivity & Hope
- Dialogue
- Civility
- Integrity
- Understanding & Empathy
Because what we put out into the world is what we get back. Negative words only lead to more negativity. Hate only begets more hate. And that makes the world a very dark and violent place. But the opposite is also true. Kindness, civility, gratitude, and love can fill the world with light and peace. And who doesn't want that?
If ONLY we lived in such a world! Here's hoping that we can improve it - one good decision and one good act at a time..
ReplyDeleteLast night's happiness class session was about kindness. We all talked about ways that kindness has been contagious in our own lives.
ReplyDeleteKindness Mindfulness Tolerance needed in big doses now.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteIt was a rough weekend for members of our faith, wasn't it? I've been inspired, though, by seeing how kind and forgiving people are being even in the wake of such a horrifying act of hate and violence. There's still good out there, and all of us can be better about being kinder, more inclusive, more forgiving, more tolerant, etc. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful list. I especially agree about kindness and empathy, those two alone could change so much if we practiced them more often. Thank you for the reminder to choose light over darkness.
ReplyDeleteWise words.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best list I have seen for ages. If only everyone tried to follow at least one of those points.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have met you and some others in the blogging world because so many here are all of that.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteI think this was a great post, Lark. So, so many things to think about. Keeping you and all the members of your faith in my prayers. You are a dear, dear person.
ReplyDeleteYes, more of all of those things would be good for everyone.
