This is also a good reminder to show myself more kindness and love. I embrace each moment and I Am grateful for the universe igifts which overflow in abundance. 2 Reply Hot Sauce7 years agoHot SauceI think, for me in particular, people of the other political party are waiting for me to be kind. It is hard for me not to see all the terrible things going on and not want to simply label them as “evil,” but I also need to recognize that they are divine at their core and that their are some valuable things that come from purity, authority, and loyalty. Like the Taoists, I must learn to be neither for nor against and, above all, to really listen to the other side. 2 Reply Trevor7 years agoTrevorAll sentient beings. 1 Reply Susan7 years agoSusanI think God is waiting for me to be kind. To say things that need to be said, with kind words. 1 Reply SeeAreLow7 years agoSeeAreLowMyself; I think that, with learning gratitude, spreading love and kindness come hand in hand. However, remembering to also be kind to myself is a necessity that I tend to forget. Spread love and kindness to the world but also to yourself. =) 2 Reply Michael7 years agoMichaelKindness should always be expected and I should always comply. We are born kind, and only culture misdirected us. 2 Reply Trevor7 years agoTrevorConfucius and Mencius says yes you are correct sir. 0 Reply Deb7 years agoDebThe next person I come in contact with.

Yes a pond of muddy water and/or disturbed surface cannot reflect the beauty ...only a Clear and Calm heart and mind will do this. I can only add to your response to this question of the day "Who is waiting for me to be kind?" My contribution: .......Those who think I am their enemy... .because...although they may not think so on the surface of their particular "pond" [temporary personality] ....... Thank You Gina 🙂 You are a bright light here and in Br Davis’s eye, I am sure of that! Yes a pond of muddy water and/or disturbed surface cannot reflect the beauty …only a Clear and Calm heart and mind will do this. I can only add to your response to this question of the day “Who is waiting for me to be kind?” My contribution: …….Those who think I am their enemy… .because…although they may not think so on the surface of their particular “pond” [temporary personality] ….their deep and permanent “Inner-Self” is indeed THERE and eagerly waiting and ready to emanate its Natural Loving/Kindness/Goodness anyway it care. And it is only when there is a TRUE state of “Clear/Calm Heart and Open Mind” that this quality of the Inner-Self can be see in others …no matter what the others “outer behaviour” might be. This fact of our BE-ing-ness is so important in to-days world it must be recognized at every opportunity! Thanks again! Be WELL Be Present EdS Read More0 Reply Gina7 years agoGinaThanks, you too! I am struggling so need all this encouragement and your words. the compassion is so important and self- compassion, the clear/calm heart and open mind can be a challenge at the best of times, striving to be present to myself and others….. 0 Reply Ed Schulte7 years agoEd SchulteOK I will return with a Kindness suggestion...an exercise to help with clearing and calming the outer ....a Balancing Exercise...to promote Self-compassion. ( Note that this utilizes the ability of "Visualization" extensively. If you have not had a lot of practice in visualization yet...don't worry about it ....just do what comes naturally/comfortably.. Remember you have your own Guardian Archangel watching and working along with you ...but you have to provide the sincerity. ( Also keep in mind ...

Remember you have your own Guardian Archangel watching and working along with you …but you have to provide the sincerity. ( Also keep in mind the Sufi axiom “Visualization is Indeed Heaven! ) That sincerity will keep you perfectly safe at all time. Meditation (A balancing type meditation) As you know, we receive etheric vitality through breathing, resting, sunlight, food, water and sleeping. But we also can receive it directly from etheric vitality itself. We know we can consciously draw the vitality to us, shape and color it through visualization in our meditation. We can increase our supply of this etheric energy anytime we want with this exercise. In this meditation we will use this etheric vitality to harmonize and balance the body of our thoughts, the body of our emotions and our material body. This exercise can be done as much and you want, in the morning or at night. It is only necessary do it for 5 to ten minutes at a time. Longer is not better in this case. OK, close your eyes now. Relax completely. Feel your whole material body. Have love and respect for your body …it is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Feel and see the luminous etheric double of your entire body. See it shine in and around your material body … it is LIFE. Now concentrate and feel your toes. Feel that you are there in your toes. Breathe deeply but comfortably and move your attention from the toes slowly up to your knees. Now you are fully concentrated in your knees. Continue to move from your knees up to your solar plexus. Breathe deeply and concentrate in your whole solar plexus area. Breathe in and see misty sky-blue light radiate from within your solar plexus and expand throughout your whole body. Now move your attention up to your chest area and feel being in your chest. See a beautiful rosy light radiating from your chest. Silence all emotions and all desires …you feel only Love in your heart. Love life Love yourself. Loving yourself is Loving Life. Love all human beings, especially those who think they are your enemy. Now consciously expand this luminous rosy light radiating from your heart and spread it over the entire planet. Earth is your temporary home; See it covered in rosy¬ white light. Now move up to your head and see a brilliant golden sun within and around your head. Clear all distracting and unnecessary thoughts from your mind. Have only creative thoughts in your mind. The etheric double of your whole material body is shining and radiating white light. Take one more deep breath and fill your chest with the air and the etheric vitality, and then slowly, slowly exhale. As you gently release the air from your lungs, keep your attention on the etheric vitality gathered in your chest and retain this energy inside you. Now feel this …..Life giving energy….. spread throughout your whole body. Feel and see your body fully saturated with the luminous white light of the etheric vitality and give thanks.

I agree. 0 Reply Michael7 years agoMichaelmy immediate household and family…everyone else, too. kindness to one reverberates over and over and over. 5 Reply Kevin7 years agoKevinPeople that I know and see on a regular basis are not waiting for me to be kind because they already know that I am kind and expect it. When meeting people for the first time kindness and courtesy begins with the first hello and handshake. Whether they are waiting for me to be kind or not is irrelevant. – Kevin 5 Reply Deb7 years agoDebSo true, Kevin! 1 Reply Christina7 years agoChristinaMy Mom. We were never a “kind” family, per se. We don’t have manners, either. We’re honest, forthright, fair, many other good things; but not kind. She has a plaque in her kitchen that reads something about how in the end, the only thing that matters is kindness. It’s ironic because she’s not “kind” either! I do evidence kindness to her: will refrain from “going in for the kill” in terms of what COULD be said sometimes. I’m proud of this. It feels good to be a kind person, ... My Mom.
