On being kind

Kind acts are a reward to oneself. Once a friend told me a smile at a random stranger is an act of charity. It is amazing how this simple act can be viewed in so many ways and can be considered in some instances as offensive or even threatening.



Our kind acts and gestures can be viewed by others through their own eyes and minds. They may not see why we are doing them, they may doubt our motives and they may repay us with distrust and distancing themselves from us but if we are doing what we do for nothing but the love we gain into ourselves through the compassion and divine love within us, then why should we care for what they think?!

Love is a gift in itself...

Love is a gift to oneself. When we love and spread acts of kindness we actually bring the love within us to ourselves and we feel the compassion dwelling within us filling us with secure warm and accepting feelings. We start accepting ourselves and loving ourselves more and more.

We do not become less with love. We do not lose of ourselves when we love others, when we act in kindness towards others, when we share our joy and happiness in life with others or when we connect and listen to others. The greatest act of charity is love and the greatest act of love is to listen and to be compassionate. Love does not judge, it does not ask others to change, love does not manipulate, love does not force others to be anything they do not want to be. Love is satisfied within itself and content within itself.

When we act in kindness and compassion, when we listen and share and bring others to a better place, when we smile and be kind and when we hold judgement and false advice, we bring ourselves to a higher etheric place closer to the divine, where peace is truly found.

Love for love and be kind. Those are gifts for yourself. You are rewarded as you give, the moment you give.
