Greatness Begins With Kindness

Another year has come and gone. Don’t know about you, but is sure seems like this past year lasted about six months. I am really excited that we can all look forward our next great adventures in 2018. As we all make new resolutions for the upcoming year, perhaps I could offer some suggestions as to how we can all enjoy 2018 and beyond with these simple tips.

1. Make peace with your past; so it won’t disturb your present.

2. What other people think of you; is none of your business.

3. Time heals almost everything; give it time.

4. No one is in charge; of your happiness.....Except you.

5. Don’t compare your life to others; and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

6. Stop thinking too much; it’s alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.

7. SMILE; You don’t own all the problems in the world.

Let’s all of us remember that the road to greatness begins with kindness. To be kind is more important than to be right....Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks, but a special heart that listens.... Two ears and one mouth....... a brilliant creation. Don’t you agree?
