Go Be Kind
When faced with hard choices always remember this.... "Am I being kind?" Then go be kind.
I think most of us ARE kind to others....and maybe SOOO kind that at times we put ourselves on the back burner. We think we will have time later for ourselves and most likely that becomes more of a dream than a reality.
Our life is made up of thousands of choices we chose up until this very moment. And while you can't go back and change the past or how we DID view ourselves I think it's SUPER important to become MORE self aware in the NOW and ask yourself that question...and dive a little deeper...
"Am I being kind....to myself?"
"Am I showing myself compassion and grace for learning something new?"
"Am I allowing myself to grow outside my comfort zone or am I keeping myself safe or unhappy for fear of what others might think of me?"
"Am I living my life the way God intended or am I playing small so that I don't stand out & get hurt."
"Am I being a leader or a follower?"
"Am I standing for something, or am I falling for anything?"
"Am I quick to anger and want others to view what I believe as truth while I dismiss their beliefs?"
"Am I truly happy and loving or am I choosing to stay still & quiet in my pain?"
"Am I being kind by showing love or am I putting others needs before my own because saying "NO" is too hard?"
"Am I scheduling time for myself daily to work on MY goals and dreams or am I not?"
Every day we have choices. While some of those questions might sting a little I want to ask WHY?! Because I know for me when I am offended it causes me to look inward and realize that maybe I have some work to do....bc YUP I definitely do....And that's ok. If we don't continue to learn then we continue to stay stuck.
Now go be kind today. Including being kind to yourself.
