Kindness  --  Week 7   

Kindness says: ‘I want you to be happy.’ 

To be kind means to be friendly, caring, generous, benevolent, considerate, respectful, fair and affectionate. 

We all know in our hearts when we have received or offered kindness because of the warm feeling it brings. Is there anyone who does not want to experience kindness from another person? 

Kindness knows with exquisite wisdom when it is appropriate to say or do something. It is found in the small details. 

If we act in a kind way, it may seem that we are putting someone else’s happiness ahead of ours, but it doesn’t work that way. 

Being kind invariably feels good, lifts our own spirits, and nourishes us in ways that we don’t always acknowledge. Everyone benefits.

Topics for discussion:  (From 16-G PDF)

1. Sometimes it may feel easier to be kind than at other times. What is that like for you? When is it easy, when is it challenging? What makes the difference? 

2.  How kind are you towards yourself? How is it different from being kind to others?  

 .... or whatever is alive in you.  

 Words of Wisdom

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

 "How we ACT."  (review)

Every positive action makes a better world. 

Every thought and action has consequence.

If everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made, then if you want a different result, you need to make a different choice. 

Human lives are composed of billions of actions of body, speech and mind which take place every minute from the moment of birth until the second when we take our last breath.

How we choose to act defines and colors the quality of our life and experiences.

How we act is not only important for our own welfare, but also for others.  

Through our actions we have the choice to nurture friendships, families, community and society – or to bring pain and disharmony. 

Everything we do sets in motion a chain of events.  The deeper we probe into this, the stronger is the call to pay intense attention to how we think and subsequently behave, because the consequences can be so complex and far-reaching.
