Kindness is contagious. I was reading Thupten Jinpa’s book this morning – A Fearless Heart – and the line that remained with me since reading it very early this morning was ‘Imagine a ripple effect of kindness.’ I ? that! So, let’s dive a little deeper and BECOME kindness…and compassion. Not always easy to do with the demands on our energy, attention and fulfilling responsibilities, but even if we plant this as a seed of thought, it will grow. The power of our thoughts will support us to become that which we dream of, with practice it becomes a part of our being.

So perhaps consider offering one simple, easy, random act of kindness a day. As simple as holding the door open for someone. Practicing small acts of kindness will make YOU feel better, the person receiving it feel better and anyone observing it, will feel better …because the magic of mirror neurons, a post for another day ?

Enjoy your week of random acts of kindness!
