#30BBM Day 4

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” – Plato
“Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.” – Lou Holtz
“A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.” – The Knights of Pythagoras

On a scale of 1-10, how kind do you think you are?

On a scale of 1-10 I think Im probably a 7. I still need work, but I think I am mostly very kind. I go out of my way to help people, and make them feel better. I am happy to help someone cross a street, carry a bag, or help an old lady down the street, or simply offer a smile. There are days tho that Im not, and I am embarassed that I do have these days. 

Your Task: Be Kind Today

Imagine you’re standing before a room that’s bursting with warm, golden light. The light is so bright that you can see it bursting through every opening, every nook and cranny from inside the room to the world. It’s literally overpowering everything in your surroundings.

As you walk up to the door, you see the word “Kindness” written on it. This is when you realize this is a room filled with pure, sheer, unadulterated kind energy.

Your task today:

1. Step into the room.
   • Imagine yourself being basked, from head to toe, in the pure, kind energy. The light is so powerful that it penetrates into your body and reaches into the core of your heart.
   • As it does that, it somehow unlocks something inside you, deep in your soul. Suddenly, a strong beam of light starts to shine from inside your heart, first illuminating your whole body, and bursting into the world out there.
   • This occurs for a good 5-10 seconds, before the light fades away. You’re now radiating a positive glow; an luminescent aura that. There’s no doubt about it – you’re now a different person from before you stepped inside. You’re now filled with kindness, inside and out. Every fiber of your being, every cell in your body, is now filled with pure, kind energy.
2. Today, you are a beacon of kindness. Exemplify kindness in everything you do, every thought you have, every action you take. This means…
• Being kind to everyone you see.
• Going out of your usual zone to help others.
• Smiling at strangers, even they aren’t smiling at you first.
• Saying hi / Greeting everyone you see.
• Doing something special for someone / others, without reason.
• Loving others as if they were you.

Generally I am kind, I will smile at strangers, greet them hi if I catch their eye. Today I made the decision to liven up my new work group. They were very quiet and kept to themselves. I decided to create a nice atmosphere, and start getting some conversations happening, and just get everyone chatting. It was a success, I had a great day. Happily I did this before I read this post. So tomorrows mission, to keep this up, but find something nice to do for someone else :)
