Today is being honoured as a “Global Day of Loving-Kindness”.
I was quickly reminded this morning of a very famous quote by the one and only TV icon Mister Rogers, who once said;
“Look for the helpers. You will always find people that are helping.”
I know that many of us would certainly agree that we have been very fortunate to witness this firsthand over the past couple of weeks with the overwhelming amount of loving and kind people around the globe doing whatever they can to #standwithisrael with both their generosity and support.
Showing love and kindness towards others is a proven way to boost our spirit and morale and find some goodness during scary times in our lives. It can also give us a glimmer of hope when we #fighthatewithlove while in the throes of such uncertain times like the ones we are currently facing.
It’s often easiest though for many to criticize others and focus in on all the evil and wrongdoings going on around us instead of looking at ways in which we too can change the world by becoming one of those incredible helpers ourselves.
Loving-Kindness is one of the greatest gifts we can bestow upon another human being and “no act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.” ~ Aesop.
So today, on this “Global Day of Loving-Kindness” let’s all find ways in which we can change the world with some Loving-Kindness. It doesn’t take much to “create a better world through kindness rather than violence.”
A smile to a stranger, a compliment to a loved one, a text to a friend letting them know we are thinking of them, a warm meal to a sick or elderly neighbour, a charitable donation if you are able or even a bag of old clothes or other items to a family in need can go a very, very long way.
