Be Kind
My religion is very simple.
My religion is kindness.
Dalai Lama
The Phoenix Fire Department motto is “Be Nice.” I’ve always liked that. Two words conveying a way of being.
Sometimes the hardest things to grasp are the most simple. The gift of a flower. A pat on the back. A compliment to a stranger.
And yet, if we believe the Dalai Lama, what we give out comes back to us, full circle.
So if we are mindful, fully in the present moment, what we may need and crave is someone to notice us, to approve of our struggles in this world, to be kind.
And If we are able to give what we need, the world will mirror back our intentions in so many ways.
Be kind.
