This post is a little different than most. I hope it speaks to you and lifts you up. If you're having a rough day, I hope you know that you are loved and you matter.
Our world is changing. Oftentimes it seems as though friends, family and strangers are treating each other with less and less compassion and understanding. If others don't share the same beliefs, they are wrong. I heard a podcast recently with
Guru Singh talking with
Rich Roll. He made a very enlightening statement: The way of educating children needs some changes. Instead of (or in addition to) the 3 R's, what should be taught is the 3 C's: Compassion, Collaboration and Communication. This way children will learn how to deal with the real problems of our time. By learning how to be compassionate towards others and collaborate and work in unity with one another, there will be less conflict. When these children become adults, they in turn will teach
their children and the world will be a better place in which to live.
Eventually the cycle will stop and adults will live a more harmonious life with others, and our differences will be cause for celebration and not contention.This week, let's all try to be more compassionate towards our loved ones. Be kind to strangers! Your kind words might be the healing words they need to hear.
This week, let's communicate with each other. Be honest. Be uplifting; encouraging words have life. Let your loved ones know what's in your heart. Life is too short; it could end tomorrow. Let your love flow out of you.
This week, work as a team; collaborate with one another.
A three strand rope is stronger than a thread!
Have a great week.
BE KIND.
