I believe that everyone has some Kindness within them ...

Around twenty years ago I read part of a book that mentioned Love & Kindness in all of us. Well after I read this book and went out searching and changing my attitude towards others, I was very surprised how it worked.

Through our lives we program our minds into throwing up walls and barriers when we are hurt for many different reasons, a way of protecting ourselves from being hurt again. Well I believe that these walls we form have a way of restricting our way of life, and can keep us from being who we really want to be.

For example:  After reading this book I noticed there was this lady who worked the telephones and front desk at a company I worked, and this lady hated everyone. When I first met her and asked her several questions I thought what a "Crab Apple" and I didn't even want to be around this woman. Then I asked others about her and they said the same thing, "Crabby" ...

Well VB wasn't going to let this lady pull him down and so I was determined to "Knock Down Her Walls" and that I did. The last time I approached this lady to talk with her she had that "Crabby Attitude" so I asked her "What' did I do Wrong?" ... "she said nothing!" So VB turned on his charm and knew deep within this lady was a very "KIND HEART & KIND SOUL"

Within 5 minutes of conversation the Lady started telling me what was wrong, and almost started crying. She had recently gone through a terrible divorce back in her home town in Russia before she had come to America. So I chatted with her for around 15 minutes and did my best to comfort her, I even asked her is she would like to go out some time for lunch and she said yes.

After my conversation with this lady many people from the company would come up to me and ask me ... "What did you do to this lady?" ... She is all happy and bubbly now!

I believe that everyone ... everyone has a "KIND HEART & KIND SOUL" and that many of them have been covered up with so walls of pain, hurt, etc., and that these people restrict themselves from being who they really are!
