Choose Kindness As Your Life's Reflection
Kind words can be easy to say but their echoes are endless...
Flower Mound, Texas real estate professional Gary Woltal is a well know ActiveRain blogger. In this post, Gary advises us to choose kindness as our life's direction.
In the rush of life is very easy to forget the positive impact of kind actions and words. Some of us need to restore the practice that we know is best.
This is a good time to resolve to choose kindness as our way of life and our state of mind at all times.

Join the kind camp!
Being a little under the weather health wise with some bug I picked up allowed me post-Thanksgiving to avoid Black Friday and small business Saturday and just meditate thinking
Choose Kindness As Your Life's Reflection.
Two quotations struck me.
"The words we speak are a direct reflection of our state of mind" and "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
I with my naive self think everyone should have kind minds and be gentle with each other with our speech and actions.
I do find myself stunned often with listening to others words at others or me, reading what they write, following their actions, particularly what I read on social media like blogs, Twitter, and Facebook. Where some days are people's kindness? Do they not realize their reflection is NOT adding to the beauty of the world. It is almost like to them with their mouth they want to be like a smokestack spewing out black dirty smoke, instead of being a daisy popping up out of the ground with all its bright color on a mild spring day coming out of winter.
An image of a reflection in the water which is what you are putting out to the world is something to keep in mind with our thoughts and actions. You do hope as all of us mature we stop being smokestacks and turn one day into sprouting flowers. Like that pebble tossed into the pond with KINDNESS, the ripples truly are ENDLESS with that.
I am always impressed with the MINDS of others when they figure this out in life. Being cultured, well spoken, downright INTELLIGENT plus COMPASSIONATE if you ask me, rather than crude, thoughtless, or vulgar is to be so admired in a person. I sometimes think with the latter that phrase, "forgive them cause they know not what they are doing" is all you can conclude about them. I don't know if it is out of poor habits or bad upbringing but like in music they are noise and dissonance, rather than a sweet melody I believe we are all born to bring lots of kindness to the world.
The world will always have the harsh and the kind types existing together. I am just writing here for someone who admires LANGUAGE so deeply, to encourage YOU to be in the kind camp. It makes all the difference in the world from what YOU give to it.
